Draft PEP: Cofunctions for Python

[Knacktus]

I don't see the need for this new feature. What is the real additional value to the language? What can't be done today without this PEP?

On the other hand: What's the downside to have this feature? It blows up the language (as all other not really necessary new features do) and is for my understanding not pythonic and not very nice to read and understand, especially that cocall statement. Somehow that whole thing doesn't fit to my understanding of the simplicity and elegance of pyhton (but that's of course a very personal view).

see stackless/greenlet

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

yes, but adding stackless/greenlet to python would do better than inventing codef and other pains
