Hey Thomas, A great place to gain insight into the reasoning behind changes to Python is the PEPs: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0342/ That links to the original proposal to extend the generator behaviour to include send. I haven't the time right now to read it but if anything is going to explain the choice, it'll be there. At a guess, I'd expect a new method was chosen to provide semantic distinctness with the original behaviour. Or maybe so it wouldn't break any existing code with decorators such as your's :) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
