That's a good question. We could make it so that you can subclass Generator and instantiate the instances; or we could even make it do some structural type checking. (Please file a pull request or issue for this at github.com/ambv/typehinting .) But perhaps we should also change asyncio? What check are you talking about?

Is this meant to accept only Python generators, or any kind of object that implements the coroutine protocol? I'm asking because asyncio currently suffers from an annoying type check here, so I'd like to avoid that this problem keeps popping up again in other places. Stefan
