I agree, there should have been a required syntactic element on the
"def"
line as well to signal it immediately to the reader. It won't stop
me from using them, though."
One way to save people looking at the code from having to look
through a function for a yield statement to see if it is a generator
would be to add a """doc string""" immediately after the function
def, saying that it is a generator
and describing what it does. I realize I'm calling on the programmer
to address this issue by adding doc strings. Nonetheless adding doc
strings is a good habit to get in to.

And even if Python did not have docstrings, the programmer could still
use comments to tell a fellow programmer what kind of code the fellow
programmer is looking at. Even languages like Brainfuck have comments
:).
