yieldPython中关键字的用途是什么？它有什么作用？

例如,我试图理解这段代码¹:

def _get_child_candidates(self, distance, min_dist, max_dist):
    if self._leftchild and distance - max_dist < self._median:
        yield self._leftchild
    if self._rightchild and distance + max_dist >= self._median:
        yield self._rightchild  

这是来电者:

result, candidates = [], [self]
while candidates:
    node = candidates.pop()
    distance = node._get_dist(obj)
    if distance <= max_dist and distance >= min_dist:
        result.extend(node._values)
    candidates.extend(node._get_child_candidates(distance, min_dist, max_dist))
return result

_get_child_candidates调用该方法时会发生什么？列表是否返回？单个元素？它又被召唤了吗？后续通话何时停止？
