Simple prime number generator in Python

Question

Could someone please tell me what I\'m doing wrong with this code? It is just printing \'count\' anyway. I just want a very simple prime generator (nothing fancy).

Answer 1

print [x for x in range(2,100) if not [t for t in range(2,x) if not x%t]]

Answer 2

You need to make sure that all possible divisors don't evenly divide the number you're checking. In this case you'll print the number you're checking any time just one of the possible divisors doesn't evenly divide the number.

Also you don't want to use a continue statement because a continue will just cause it to check the next possible divisor when you've already found out that the number is not a prime.
