That's because most of us who might like this have been patently avoiding this thread. I like the syntax, I'm iffy on the exception other than stop iteration (but I lost track on what was decided on this) and I would like to see this go in. I think this is going to be a power user feature for awhile, but I will like to see the libraries that will come of this, I think this does enhance things. Also, I know David Beazley did a tutorial here at pycon on implementing coroutines and I'd be interested to see what he thinks of this as well. I'll see if I can get his opinion. -jesse _______________________________________________ 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
