[New-bugs-announce] [issue24087] Documentation doesn't explain the term "coroutine" (PEP 342)

[Paul Moore]

New submission from Paul Moore:

Although the new generator methods introduced in PEP 342 are documented, the term "coroutine" is not defined anywhere. In particular, the fact that Python coroutines work in conjunction with an event loop rather than transferring control directly between each other is not mentioned.
