I don't think that's all that big of a deal even though I will readily admit having stumbled on it early on. I removed the last "yield" statement from a generator expecting it to keep on being a generator. Thus, you have to do things like: def nothing(): if False: yield None The "pass" and "global" statements make me think it might be more Pythonic to have separate syntax for the special case: def nothing(): yield not Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
