Try this instead:

  >>> x = None
  >>> while 1:
  ...     if x is None:
  ...             send = None
  ...     else:
  ...             send = x * 2
  ...     try:
  ...             x = g.send(send)
  ...     except StopIteration:
  ...             break
  ...

Your code was calling next and send, when it should have only been calling
send.
