Generators: The Final Frontier ======================== This tutorial explores advanced uses of generators and coroutines for customizing various aspects of program control-flow. The tutorial will involve looking, in detail, at a series of interesting examples which include the following: - Defining new context managers (@contextmanager decorator) - Inlining callback functions (e.g., understanding tricks underlying features such as the inlineCallbacks decorator in Twisted). - Yieldable threads (side-stepping the GIL). - Implementing simple actors (communicating tasks). - Using generators to eliminate recursion (avoiding the interpreter recursion limit). Although the main focus of the tutorial is on generators, attendees will gain a lot of insight into the inner workings and design of the above topics and how they related to advanced libraries and frameworks.
