yieldfrom 1.0.3

A backport of the `yield from` semantic from Python 3.x to Python 2.7

A backport of the `yield from` semantic from Python 3.x to Python 2.7

If you want to nest generators in Python 3.x, you can use the ``yield from``
keywords. This allows you to automatically iterate over sub-generators and
transparently pass exceptions and return values from the top level caller
to the lowest generator.

```.py
def subgen():
yield 2
yield 3

def gen():
yield 1
yield from subgen() # Python 3.x only
yield 4

def main():
for i in gen():
print i,

>>> main()
... 1 2 3 4
```

This functionality is not available in Python 2.x, and we emulate it using the
`yieldfrom` decorator and the helper `From` class:

```.py
from yieldfrom import yieldfrom, From
def subgen():
yield 2
yield 3

@yieldfrom
def gen():
yield 1
yield From(subgen())
yield 4

def main():
for i in gen():
print i,

>>> main()
... 1 2 3 4
```

Advanced usage allows returning a value from the subgenerator using
`StopIteration`. Using `Return` does this conveniently:

```.py
from yieldfrom import yieldfrom, From, Return

def subgen():
yield 2
yield 3
Return(100) # Raises `StopIteration(100)`

@yieldfrom
def gen():
yield 1
ret = (yield From(subgen()))
yield 4
yield ret

def main():
for i in gen():
print i,

>>> main()
... 1 2 3 4 100
```

Subgenerators can be nested on multiple levels, each one requiring additional
decoration by `yieldfrom`:

```.py
def subsubgen():
yield 2

@yieldfrom
def subgen():
yield From(subsubgen())
yield 3

@yieldfrom
def gen():
yield 1
yield From(subgen())
yield 4

def main():
for i in gen():
print i,

>>> main()
... 1 2 3 4
```

Exceptions thrown into the top-level generator can be handled in relevant
subgenerators:

```.py
def subsubgen():
try:
yield 2
except ValueError:
yield 200

@yieldfrom
def subgen():
yield From(subsubgen())
yield 3

@yieldfrom
def gen():
yield 1
yield From(subgen())
yield 4

def main():
try:
g = gen()
while True:
i = g.next()
if i == 2:
i = g.throw(ValueError())
print i,
except StopIteration:
pass

>>> main()
... 1 200 3 4
```

Note that if you use `yield From()` on a simple iterable (`list`,
`tuple`, etc) then the individual members of the iterator will be yielded on
each iteration (perhaps in that case you need the usual `yield`).

```.py
@yieldfrom
def gen():
yield From([1, 2, 3])
yield [1, 2, 3]

def main():
for i in gen():
print i

>>> main()
... 1
... 2
... 3
... [1, 2, 3]
```

Passing non-iterable objects to `From` will result in an empty
generator that does nothing.

```.py
@yieldfrom
def gen():
yield From(None)
yield 1

def main():
for i in gen():
print i

>>> main()
... 1
```
