Simple prime number generator in Python

Question

Could someone please tell me what I\'m doing wrong with this code? It is just printing \'count\' anyway. I just want a very simple prime generator (nothing fancy).

Answer 1

How about this if you want to compute the prime directly:

def oprime(n):
counter = 0
b = 1
if n == 1:
    print 2
while counter < n-1:
    b = b + 2
    for a in range(2,b):
        if b % a == 0:
            break
    else:
        counter = counter + 1
        if counter == n-1:
            print b
