Linguistic ponderings

I have a server I want to communicate with, over a Unix-domain socket. The server speaks something which used to be a simple textual command-response protocol, but now has all sorts of strange asynchronous notifications, background jobs and other weirdness.

Apparently you can cobble something resembling coroutines together with yield in Python.

Nothing terribly useful. Python's generators are rather poor things, really. They're allowed only a single frame, not a separate stack, which is something of a bummer, really. Compare with, say, Icon's generators, which are much better things in almost every respect.
