And much more flexible.  You can also create a "holder" kind
of class, which goes something like:


class Values:
   def __init__(self, **values):
      self.__dict__.update(values)

>  >>> food['apple']
>  ... 'A'
>  

Or, using the above Values class:

...
       return Values(apple="A", orange="B")

What you use the class for, is up to your own imagination
and needs.

Generators yielding to other generators, to form a
quasi-cooperative-multitasking environ seems quite
powerful to me.
