Yes, but maybe for other objects.

Well, assuming beaconquery > is an InProgress object, that depends -- is beaconquery finished or not? > If not, it will wait. No, I mean beaconquery is a beacon.Query object. So it is no InProgresss object. You can not know if beaconquery is returned because it is no InProgresss object or if it will wait because it has an __inprogress__ function. You have to look at the code. If we move the inprogress() call out of coroutine again, it will become clear: yield beaconquery returns the object yield inprogress(beaconquery) waits Does it makes sense?
