Clean Code in Python

Delegating into smaller coroutines – the yield from syntax

The previous feature is interesting in the sense that it opens up a lot of new possibilities with coroutines (generators), now that they can return values. But this feature, by itself, would not be so useful without proper syntax support, because catching the returned value this way is a bit cumbersome.

This is one of the main features of the yield from syntax. Among other things (that we'll review in detail), it can collect the value returned by a sub-generator. Remember that we said that returning data in a generator was nice, but that, unfortunately, writing statements as value = generator() wouldn't work? Well, writing it as value = yield from generator() would.
