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

def genPrimes():
    primes = []   # primes generated so far
    last = 1      # last number tried
    while True:
        last += 1
        for p in primes:
            if last % p == 0:
                break
        else:
            primes.append(last)
            yield last
