Description

@amyasnikov

Bugbear reports false-positive "more that one" usage of the generator even if it occurs inside 2 different branches of the if-else statement.

This code

import itertools

for _, group in itertools.groupby([]):
    if True:
        print(group, True)
    else:
        print(group, False)

produces

b031.py:7:15: B031 Using the generator returned from `itertools.groupby()` more than once will do nothing on the second usage. Save the result to a list, if the result is needed multiple times.

but it's obvious that group cannot be used twice here.
