Actually, this won't work, because the value of the "yield None" gets ignored. Thus if you try to call send() twice in a row, the generator the treats second send() as if it were a next(), and it is not possible to have more than one item in the queue. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
