(redirecting to python-ideas - coroutine proposals are nowhere near mature enough for python-dev)

The general issues with that kind of idea: - the author hasn't offered the code for inclusion and relicensing under the PSF license (thus we legally aren't allowed to do it) - complexity - maintainability - platform support
In the specific case of coroutines, you have the additional hurdle of convincing people whether or not they're a good idea at all.
I think coroutines can be immensely useful. I am using continulets in PyPy to implement the flow control for symbolic expression capture, and it is by far the least complex method I have examined. I can't think of any other examples where I've really felt blocked by a standard stack though. Nathan
