New submission from Stephen Lacy <sl...@slacy.com>: There's reasonable documentation of the yield statement for most python versions under Section 6: Simple Statements, particularly 6.8 "The Yield Statement" (http://docs.python.org/release/2.7/reference/simple_stmts.html#the-yield-statement)
But, there's no mention of the return value of the yield statement, or that the send statement even exists. It's mentioned in passing here under "PEP342 New Generator Features" (http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/2.5.html#pep-342-new-generator-features) but should be given fuller explanation and cross-linking from the yield statement documentation. It's also mentioned a bit here: http://docs.python.org/howto/functional.html#passing-values-into-a-generator but again, not under the language documentation itself. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 161320 nosy: Stephen.Lacy, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: send statement from PEP342 is poorly documented. versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14878> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
