Comment (by jarrod.millman):

 Fernando gave a talk at the last Baypiggies meeting and asked if anyone
 new how to tell via introspection if you are dealing with a "standard" or
 generator function.  Here is Alex Martelli's response:
 http://aleaxit.blogspot.com/2008/11/python-introspecting-for-generator-
 vs.html

 Please be sure to read the comment by Matt Good.

 On the Baypiggies mailing list, Wesley Chun had this to add:
 {{{
 Also for those interested in exploring further where he [Matt Good] found
 it,
 it's in the 2.5.2 docs:  http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/ref/types.html

 look for the "Internal Types" -> "Code Objects" section where it reads
 as follows:

 "The following flag bits are defined for co_flags: bit 0x04 is set if
 the function uses the "*arguments" syntax to accept an arbitrary
 number of positional arguments; bit 0x08 is set if the function uses
 the "**keywords" syntax to accept arbitrary keyword arguments; bit
 0x20 is set if the function is a generator."
 }}}
