Although the PEP may still want to mention how one would write *tests* for these things. Will the test drivers themselves need to be generators participating in some kind of trampoline setup?
I don't see that tests are fundamentally different from any other code that wants to call a value-returning generator and get the value without becoming a generator itself. So if it's to be mentioned in the PEP at all, a general solution might as well be given (whether it's to use a trampoline or just write the necessary next() and except code).
Agreed the problem is more general than just testing - but a test driver is potentially interesting in that you probably want the same test suite to be able to test both normal code and the cooperative multitasking code.
