Python somehow always manages to miss the mark. The new co-routine stuff is a good example. Who can explain to me how I return more than once from the same co-routine? That is what a co-routine is after all no?
def some_co():
yield 2
yield 3 It is a SyntaxError to have yield or yield from expressions in an async function.
So an async function is not really a co-routine. It is a regular function that gets to use `await` and that's it. Calling it a co-routine is misleading and confusing.
But you don't return more than once from a coroutine. You can suspend it as often as you like, and that's what "await" does.
