Return in generator together with yield

by

This is a new feature in Python 3.3 (as a comment notes, it doesn’t even work in 3.2). Much like return in a generator has long been equivalent to raise StopIteration(), return <something> in a generator is now equivalent to raise StopIteration(<something>). For that reason, the exception you’re seeing should be printed as StopIteration: 3, and the value is accessible through the attribute value on the exception object. If the generator is delegated to using the (also new) yield from syntax, it is the result. See PEP 380 for details.

def f():
    return 1
    yield 2

def g():
    x = yield from f()
    print(x)

# g is still a generator so we need to iterate to run it:
for _ in g():
    pass

This prints 1, but not 2.
