Why should (x for x in [1, 2, 3]) be a valid coroutine but iter([1, 2, 3]) not? Anyway, calling close() on an iterator can be a necessary requirement even in ordinary generator usage. Only now they have to know if the underlying iterator was sired by a generator or some other constructor. Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
