不用递归实现访问者模式

使用访问者模式遍历一个很深的嵌套树形数据结构，可能会因为超过嵌套层级限制而失败。 可以使用生成器可以在树遍历或搜索算法中消除递归。

class Node(object):
    pass


class NodeVisitor(object):
    def visit(self, node):

                last = stack[-1]
                if isinstance(last, types.GeneratorType):
                    stack.append(last.send(last_result))
                    last_result = None
                elif isinstance(last, Node):
                    stack.append(self._visit(stack.pop()))
                else:
                    last_result = stack.pop()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    a = Number(0)
    for n in range(1, 10000000):
        a = Add(a, Number(n))

    e = Evaluator()
    print(e.visit(a))

生成器和协程在程序控制流方面的强大功能。 避免递归的一个通常方法是使用一个栈或队列的数据结构。
