def iterman(self): yield "hello" yield "nice weather we're having" yield "goodbye" Which, more or less works, for a literal translation of the straw-man above. However, you're missing the point. These deferred operations actually return results. Generators offer no sane way to pass results back in.

that's why you need a context object (=self, in this case).

def iterman(self):
    yield "hello"
    print self.data
    yield "nice weather we're having"
    print self.data
    yield "goodbye"

If they did, then this use case could be mostly served by generators.

exactly.
