I've written a PEP about this topic. It's PEP 340: Anonymous Block Statements (http://python.org/peps/pep-0340.html).
Some highlights:
- temporarily sidestepping the syntax by proposing 'block' instead of 'with' - __next__() argument simplified to StopIteration or ContinueIteration instance - use "continue EXPR" to pass a value to the generator - generator exception handling explained
I'm still trying to build a case for a non-looping block statement, but the proposed enhancements to generators look great. Any further suggestions I make regarding a PEP 310 style block statement will account for those generator changes.
Cheers, Nick.
