It forbids returning a value, since that would mean the generator could "refuse" a break or return statement, which is a little bit too weird (returning a value instead would turn these into continue statements). I'll change this to clarify that I don't care about the identity of the StopException instance. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
