[Roman Suzi]

Maybe it will be nicier to have unary * instead of 'yield' for generators?

[Greg Stein]

This is Python, not Perl. Why use an obscure character instead of a keyword? It doesn't make sense to me...

I doubt it would be warmly received in Perl-land, either.

Roman, this will never fly unless you can talk Guido into also allowing "**" as a synonym for "return". I wish you luck .
