As far as I understand, "yield from" will always work, because a Future object can act like an iterator, and you can delegate your own generator to this iterator at the place of "yield from". "yield" only works if the parameter behind yield is already a Future object. Right Guido?

In case of sleep, sleep could be implemented to return a Future object.

A generic comment on yield from APIs that I'm sure has been discussed in some e-mail I missed: is there an obvious way to know up front whether something needs to be yielded or yield frommed? In twisted, which is what I'm used to it's all deferreds; but here a future's yield from but sleep's yield?

It's quite pretty. I chose it because Twisted and Tornado both start with T. But those have kind of dark associations; I wanted to offset that with something lighter. (OTOH we could use a black tulip as a logo. :-) Regardless, it's not the kind of name we tend to use for the stdlib. It'll probably end up being asynclib or something... -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido)
