Despite being guilty of propagating this style for years myself, I have to disagree. Consider the

other Twisted-like systems if they existed ;-)):
def strawman(self): def sayGoodbye(mingleResult): def goAway(goodbyeResult): self.loseConnection() self.send("goodbye").addCallback(goAway) def mingle(helloResult): self.send("nice weather we're having").addCallback(sayGoodbye) self.send("hello").addCallback(mingle)
def iterman(self): yield "hello" yield "nice weather we're having" yield "goodbye"
Which, more or less works, for a literal translation of the straw-man above. However, you're missing the point. These deferred operations actually return results. Generators offer no sane way to pass results back in. If they did, then this use case could be mostly served by generators.
