Which is why I believe 'return' would be a better choice, even though
returning a value other than None would make no sense. It would simply
be a restriction, and one that almost nobody would notice - like this:

>>> def f():
	yield 1
	yield 2
	yield 3

	
>>> a=f()
>>> a
<generator object f at 0x00FB4AA8>
>>> a.send(1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#7>", line 1, in <module>
    a.send(1)
TypeError: can't send non-None value to a just-started generator
