Sure it does, you're now supposed to use .send method instead of
calling it but this is just different syntax. If you want to call it
use this :
def identity(func):
@init
def gen(func):
x = (yield)
while True:
x = (yield func(x))
return gen(func).send
Now you will get:
>>> @identity
>>> def f(a): a+1
...
>>> f(0)
1
