[issue20956] tokenize module claims generate_tokens returns namedtuple, but it doesn't

[Eric V. Smith]

Eric V. Smith added the comment:

The 2.x documentation says generate_tokens returns a 5-tuple, not a namedtuple:

http://docs.python.org/2/library/tokenize.html
"The generator produces 5-tuples with these members: ..."

The section you quote is talking about tokenize.tokenize, and I think that documentation should be fixed. Changing to namedtuple would be a new feature, which are not being added to 2.7.
