Generator verbosity setting needed?

[MuellerSeb]

We have a verbose property in the generators, that only controls a single print statement.

I think we shouldn't have print statements in the code, so we have two options:

1. remove the verbose argument and property from the generators and remove the print statement
2. use the python logging library (this would also mean verbosity will be set by the logger configuration)

Since we only have a single print statement at the moment I am in favor of option 1.

Yes, me too. Since everyone can look into the code and easily run it in debug modes or manually insert debug print statements, verbose Python programs don't make as much sense, as a compiled or closed source program.
