I tryed your code and got an error message #I use Wing IDE:
Python 2.2.3 (#42, May 30 2003, 18:12:08) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)]
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
Evaluating lines 1-16 from truckStops.py
<string>:7: Warning: 'yield' will become a reserved keyword in the
future
Could not execute because an error occurred:
  invalid syntax: <string>, line 7, pos 19:
          yield stops, wage
