Capturing the value returned by a sub-generator

In the following example, we have a generator that calls another two nested generators, producing values in a sequence. Each one of these nested generators returns a value, and we will see how the top-level generator is able to effectively capture the return value since it's calling the internal generators through yield from:

def sequence(name, start, end):    logger.info("%s started at %i", name, start)    yield from range(start, end)    logger.info("%s finished at %i", name, end)    return enddef main():    step1 = yield from sequence("first", 0, 5)    step2 = yield from sequence("second", step1, 10)    return step1 + step2

This is a possible execution of the code in main while it's being iterated:

>>> g = main() ...
