this looks like a bug in generator comprehension

[Michele Simionato]

Consider this example:

def f(x,y):
yield str(x) + y

"".join([s for s in f(1,2)])

I get correctly

TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'int' objects

However if I use a generator comprehension (I am using Python 2.4b2)
I get a misleading error message:

TypeError: sequence expected, generator found

Is this a known bug?
