[Python-ideas] keyword for introducing generators

[Neil Girdhar]

I'm sure this has been suggested before, but I just spent two days trying 
to figure out why a method wasn't being called only to find that I'd 
accidentally pasted a yield into the function.  What is the argument 
against a different keyword for introducing generator functions/methods?

If it's backward compatibility, then my suggestion to have a from 
__future__ and then make it real in Python 4.
