Using datetime and getting " at 0x7f1463aeec80>"

Question

I am coding a web scraper and and my code keeps printing <generator object at 0x7f1463aeec80>

dates_with_monthname = re.findall(
    r'((?:January|February|March|April|May|June|July|August|September|October|November|December)\s\d{1,2})',
    str(text)
)

while i<len(dates_with_monthname):

  i=i+1


Date_List = (datetime.datetime.strptime(i, "%B-%d") for i in dates_with_monthname)


print(Date_List)

I am having a hard time understanding why it prints out <generator object at 0x7f1463aeec80>

Haven't tried much because I am very confused as to why it would print that.

Because you have used a generator expression in the line before. — Klaus D., Nov 01 '22 at 22:15
