I have a generator function and want to get the first ten items from it; my first attempt was:
my_generator()[:10]
This doesn't work because generators aren't subscriptable, as the error tells me. Right now I have worked around that with:
list(my_generator())[:10]
This works since it converts the generator to a list; however, it's inefficient and defeats the point of having a generator. Is there some built-in, Pythonic equivalent of [:10] for generators?
