This sounds like a homework problem :-)

What I get out of that is that you don't want to just print them, you 
want to have some function which returns all the generated rows in 
order.  The way to do that is with the yield statement.  Take a look at 
https://wiki.python.org/moin/Generators for some discussion on how that 
works.  Actually, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/231767/
looks like an even better discussion.

Does that help you any?
