I wouldn't refer to a generator as a "thread" personally. A thread essentially executes without intervention from outside code, which is not the case for a generator (where resumption is controlled by explicit next() calls or iteration by the consumer). That is also why I proposed the more general "task" (and "task context"). Of course, capitalized "Task" is given a specific meaning by asyncio...
