Note the original function words is recursive: it calls itself.

Your new function non_rep_words should also call itself, rather than calling the old words:

def non_rep_words(alphabet,l):
    if l == 0:
        yield []
    elif l == 1:
        for a in alphabet:
            yield [a]
    else:
        for word in non_rep_words(alphabet, l-1):
            for a in alphabet:
                if word[-1] != a:
                    yield word+[a]

Here I also corrected the case l == 1. You can avoid this case by adding an extra clause to your if statement:

def non_rep_words(alphabet,l):
    if l == 0:
        yield []
    else:
        for word in non_rep_words(alphabet, l-1):
            for a in alphabet:
                if len(word) == 0 or word[-1] != a:
                    yield word+[a]
