I think that this feature is not supported in classic language as C++, Java, C#.. In my design, we use 1 generator in both tasks: invoke and callback when download one url. But I have a small problem when getting instance of generator. How can I get own instance of generator in itself code?

Given that PEP 3130 (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3130/ ), which
would have similarly added nice ways to get the current module, class,
and regular function, was rejected, I wouldn't hold out much hope for
such a feature being added any time soon.
(Wrapping via decorators introduces nontrivial subtlety regarding
whether you really want to refer to the decorated or undecorated
version of an entity.)
