I believe he was referring indirectly to http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0342.html (see item #1 in the "Specification Summary" section), where yield will become an expression. This PEP has been accepted, thus his use of present tense, confusing though it is when it's not in the released version of Python yet. Or I might be wrong. ;-) -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
