There might possibly be room for an alternative way of
presenting the generator machinery that makes it look
like less of an abuse when it's used inside-out.

A while back I was thinking about having something
like

     result = call some_generator(args)

which would be syntactic sugar for yielding an object
that gets used by a generator-scheduling framework
to simulate a coroutine.
