This is why even though in some sense I'd love to see yield *expr, I can't imagine it's going to get into the language itself; it's too easy to do it yourself, or provide a library function to do it (which would A: Be a lot easier if we had some sort of "iterable" interface support and B: Be a great demonstration of something useful that really needs protocol support to come off right, because isinstance(something, GeneratorType) isn't sufficient in general). Abstractly I like the star syntax, but concretely I'm not a big fan of adding something to the language that can be done right now with a fairly short function/generator and hardly even any extra keystrokes to invoke it when done right, and that overrides my abstract appreciation. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
