When I was working with this code - sys.path is a list andits memebers are strings - but when used the below code, it is showing at 0x00B38C30>, please explain why?

Code : 

import sys
print(x for x in sys.path)

sys.path is this

['C:\\Users\\eastwood\\OneDrive\\Python_Work\\Trials', 'C:\\Users\
\eastwood\\OneDrive\\Python_Work\\Trials', 'C:\\Users\\eastwood\\A
ppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python37-32\\python37.zip', 'C:\\
Users\\eastwood\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python37-32\\DL
Ls', 'C:\\Users\\eastwood\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Pytho
n37-32\\lib', 'C:\\Users\\eastwood\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Pyth
on\\Python37-32', 'C:\\Users\\eastwood\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\
Python\\Python37-32\\lib\\site-packages']

And

print(x for x in sys.path)

gives <generator object <genexpr> at 0x00B38C30>

import sys
print(x for x in sys.path)

I was expecting the code to print the members of sys.path list!

If you don't have any thing around the loop it's gonna be a generator, so use:

import sys
print([x for x in sys.path])
