I'm trying to write a generator function that gets rows out of a database and returns them one at a time. However, I'm not sure if the cleanup code marked ** below executes as I think it does. If it does not, what is the best way to put cleanup code inside a generator itself that executes after the last yield statement? I looked at catching StopIteration but that seems to be done from the caller, not within the generator.
def MYSQLSelectGenerator(stmt):
...
try:
myDB = MySQLdb.connect(host=..., port=..., user=..., passwd=..., db=...)
dbc=myDB.cursor()
dbc.execute(stmt)
d = "asdf"
while d is not None:
d = dbc.fetchone() #can also use fetchmany() to be more efficient
yield d
dbc.close() #** DOES THIS WORK AS I INTEND, MEANING AS SOON AS d = "None"
except MySQLdb.Error, msg:
print("MYSQL ERROR!")
print msg
