I believe this is going to be the best possible efficient implementation of generators. And I'm very confident that it will make it into the core with ease and without the need for a PEP.
I sure hope not. We need to come up with better APIs and a better interface from Python code. The current interface is not efficiently implementable in Jython, AFAIK. We also need to figure out how to make things play nicely with stackless. IMHO, a PEP is required. My plan now is to look at how stackless works as I now understand some of the issues. Since no stackless light patch exists writing one may be a good learning project. Its still a long road to 2.2. :-) Neil
