time, the execution proceeds to the first yield expression, where it is
suspended again, returning the value of :token:`expression_list` to the generator's
caller. By suspended, we mean that all local state is retained, including the
current bindings of local variables, the instruction pointer, and the internal
evaluation stack. When the execution is resumed by calling one of the
current bindings of local variables, the instruction pointer, the internal
evaluation stack, and the state of any exception handling. When the execution
is resumed by calling one of the
generator's methods, the function can proceed exactly as if the yield expression
were just another external call. The value of the yield expression after
resuming depends on the method which resumed the execution. If

where the execution should continue after it yields; the control is always

Yield expressions are allowed anywhere in a :keyword:`try` construct. If the
generator is not resumed before it is
finalized (by reaching a zero reference count or by being garbage collected),
the generator-iterator's :meth:`~generator.close` method will be called,
allowing any pending :keyword:`finally` clauses to execute.
