[Python-ideas] Yield-from: Details to be decided

[Bruce Frederiksen]

Actually, PEP 342 specifies that send(None) is like next():

"Calling send(None) is exactly equivalent to calling a generator's 
next() method."

So to honor this, you would need to have send(None) call next, while 
send(anything_else) raises an exception...
