I'm sorry, I still don't understand what the problem here is. I didn't have any trouble making a python implementation for the wikipedia coroutine example:
Where is the yield method? You need to be able to call Coroutine.co_yield() from *anywhere* not just in a generator. Suppose we have a Tree class with a walk method which takes a callback function: class Tree: class Node: def visit(self, callback): if self.left: self.left.visit(callback) if self.right: self.right.visit(callback) callback(self.value) def walk(self, callback): '''Recursively walks the tree calling callback(node) for each node''' self.root.visit(callback) We can then use Coroutine to create a tree iterator, with something like: def tree_callback(node): Coroutine.co_yield(node) #Make an iterator from a coroutine def tree_iterator(tree): co = Coroutine(tree.walk) yield co.resume(tree_callback) while True: yield co.resume(None) (I am glossing over questions like: Should a stopping coroutine raise an exception from the resume method or just return a value. Should a stopped coroutine that is resumed raise a StopIteration exception, a GeneratorExit exception or some new exception, etc, etc...) The important point here is that Tree.walk() is recursive and knows nothing of generators or coroutines, yet can be made to drive a generator.

Should have been
@staticmethod
def co_yield(value): 'Yields (returns) value back to caller of resume() method.'
