☑ The State of Python Coroutines: Python 3.5

I recently spotted that Python 3.5 has added yet more features to make coroutines more straightforward to implement and use. Since I’m well behind the curve I thought I’d bring myself back up to date over a series of blog posts, each going over some functionality added in successive Python versions — this one covers additional syntax that was added in Python 3.5.

This is the 4th of the 4 articles that currently make up the “State of Python Coroutines” series, the first of which was The State of Python Coroutines: yield from.

Since I’m well behind the curve I thought I’d bring myself back up to date over a series of blog posts, each going over some functionality added in successive Python versions — this one covers the facilities up to and including the yield from syntax added in Python 3.3.
