Mar 19 at 20:03 comment added qneill @bobstein - I posted an answer over there but TBH I'm no VS Code guru.
Feb 2 at 15:27 comment added Bob Stein @qneill man I could use some minutia over at this question I just posted about VS Code not getting along with git. How did version control get so messy?
Feb 2 at 3:11 comment added qneill @BobStein LOL "glazed eyes" I get that a lot as I found myself too steeped in git minutia and learned I really, really needed to crimp the firehose.
Feb 16, 2023 at 14:40 comment added Bob Stein @D-odu if I've earned your compliment, the real people to thank are the many whose eyes have glazed over listening to me. I'll take credit for noticing and trying to avoid that.

use next function instead of next method, the next method was renamed to __next__ in python-3

Use this simple trick to get multi-use out of a generator function.

Clarify, "generator" is used in Python 3 docs as a more specific term for the iterator. "Generator function" is therefore unambiguous. Avoiding the term "generator" altogether, which is now ambiguous (some texts use it for the function).

the_list is a better name then return_list (more noun-like), and other tweaks

Correct iterator / generator terminology. Calling next(iterator) is Python 2/3 compatible, versus iterator.next() which is Python 2 only, thanks to @Passiday's comment.

Drawing prime attention to the code, which explains it faster.
