My favorite prime number generator
Summary: Eli Bendersky shares his favorite prime number generator, a Python code that generates a potentially infinite sequence of prime numbers using a sieve function. The code is short, clear, and doesn't require knowing the limit ahead of time. However, it is slower than other methods, such as the full sieve of Eratosthenes. Bendersky discusses optimizations, including a segmented sieve approach that uses less memory, and provides a full code with tests and benchmarks on GitHub.
