[New-bugs-announce] [issue20956] tokenize module claims generate_tokens returns namedtuple, but it doesn't

[Curtis Maloney]

New submission from Curtis Maloney:

Although 3.x does yield a named-tuple, 2.x does not, despite the documentation:

    The exact type can be determined by checking the token string field on the named tuple returned from tokenize.tokenize() for the character sequence that identifies a specific operator token.

(I'd much rather this functionality be back-ported from 3, as it's quite simple)
