3.3 is in bugfix mode only now. So, targeting 3.4.

I am neutral to this change. Showing use of new language idioms is nice, but merging patches to 3.3 and 3.4 would be more difficult.

Thanks for the patch.

I think that seeing as we've already done a bunch, there's little reason not to do more.

Does your patch take care of all "yield" in the stdlib?

How are people finding these uses? Grepping around for yield and seeing if it is in a 'for' loop? Or are people doing something more detailed like an AST walk of every module in the stdlib looking for some pattern?

Personally I ran the following command:

  find -type f -name '*.py' -exec egrep -n -A1 '\bfor\b.*\bin\b' '{}' + | egrep -v 'yield +from' | egrep -B1 'yield +\w+(, *\w+)* *(#|$)'

I deliberately missed tests and lib2to3, because that's where the changes required more attention. Berker Peksag found a few missed, these changes LGTM.

Fixed, thanks.
Interesting, I didn't thought «yield from» can be applied to just list, not generator. But it works.
