Which is exactly why I'm suggesting dropping "return value" from PEP 380 and then doing it right in PEP 3152, which has a much better rationale for the "return value" feature anyway. Why not split "return value" for generators in to its own PEP? There is currently a use case for it in frameworks which use generators for coroutines, without any dependency on PEP 380 or PEP 3152.

You could do that, but I think 3152 would need to depend on the new PEP then. It would be quite strange to define a new class of "functions" and not have them able to return a value.
