I was suggesting that the feature could be a PEP310-like object and that a __block__ function (or whatever) of the generator could return such an object. But at this point, Nick's proposition is what I prefer. I find the use of generators very elegant, but I'm still unconvinced it is a good idea to use them to implement an acquire/release pattern. Even if another continuation mechanism would be used (like Steven's idea), it would still be a lot of concepts used to implement acquire/release.
