It does not. The body of the comprehension is evaluated all the way to
completion, despite the fact that a.next() does not return until there
is a successful test of the if expression.

>>> def print_range(n):
...     for i in range(n):
...         print(i)
...         yield i
...
>>> a = (i for i in print_range(10) if i**2<10)
>>> a.next()
0
0
>>> a.next()
1
1
>>> a.next()
2
2
>>> a.next()
3
3
>>> a.next()
4
