writing an asynchronous protocol for L{twisted.internet}. For methods

"""
L{deferredGenerator} and L{waitForDeferred} help you write
L{Deferred}-using code that looks like a regular sequential function.
Consider the use of L{inlineCallbacks} instead, which can accomplish
the same thing in a more concise manner.
There are two important functions involved: L{waitForDeferred}, and
L{deferredGenerator}. They are used together, like this::
@deferredGenerator
def thingummy():
thing = waitForDeferred(makeSomeRequestResultingInDeferred())
yield thing
thing = thing.getResult()
print thing #the result! hoorj!
L{waitForDeferred} returns something that you should immediately yield; when
your generator is resumed, calling C{thing.getResult()} will either give you
the result of the L{Deferred} if it was a success, or raise an exception if it
was a failure. Calling C{getResult} is B{absolutely mandatory}. If you do
not call it, I{your program will not work}.
L{deferredGenerator} takes one of these waitForDeferred-using generator
functions and converts it into a function that returns a L{Deferred}. The
result of the L{Deferred} will be the last value that your generator yielded
unless the last value is a L{waitForDeferred} instance, in which case the
result will be C{None}. If the function raises an unhandled exception, the
L{Deferred} will errback instead. Remember that C{return result} won't work;
use C{yield result; return} in place of that.
Note that not yielding anything from your generator will make the L{Deferred}
result in C{None}. Yielding a L{Deferred} from your generator is also an error
condition; always yield C{waitForDeferred(d)} instead.
The L{Deferred} returned from your deferred generator may also errback if your
generator raised an exception. For example::
@deferredGenerator
def thingummy():
thing = waitForDeferred(makeSomeRequestResultingInDeferred())
yield thing
thing = thing.getResult()
if thing == 'I love Twisted':
# will become the result of the Deferred
yield 'TWISTED IS GREAT!'
return
else:
# will trigger an errback
raise Exception('DESTROY ALL LIFE')
Put succinctly, these functions connect deferred-using code with this 'fake
blocking' style in both directions: L{waitForDeferred} converts from a
L{Deferred} to the 'blocking' style, and L{deferredGenerator} converts from the
'blocking' style to a L{Deferred}.

inlineCallbacks helps you write L{Deferred}-using code that looks like a

@inlineCallbacks
def thingummy():
thing = yield makeSomeRequestResultingInDeferred()
print(thing) # the result! hoorj!
When you call anything that results in a L{Deferred}, you can simply yield it;
your generator will automatically be resumed when the Deferred's result is
available. The generator will be sent the result of the L{Deferred} with the
'send' method on generators, or if the result was a failure, 'throw'.
Things that are not L{Deferred}s may also be yielded, and your generator
will be resumed with the same object sent back. This means C{yield}
performs an operation roughly equivalent to L{maybeDeferred}.
Your inlineCallbacks-enabled generator will return a L{Deferred} object, which
will result in the return value of the generator (or will fail with a
failure object if your generator raises an unhandled exception). Note that
you can't use C{return result} to return a value; use C{returnValue(result)}
instead. Falling off the end of the generator, or simply using C{return}
will cause the L{Deferred} to have a result of C{None}.
Be aware that L{returnValue} will not accept a L{Deferred} as a parameter.
If you believe the thing you'd like to return could be a L{Deferred}, do
this::
result = yield result
returnValue(result)
The L{Deferred} returned from your deferred generator may errback if your
generator raised an exception::
@inlineCallbacks
