Maybe, but on the other hand this idea can be done independently from PEP 342. After the "monster-PEP" 340, I'd rather break proposals up in small parts. > Also, if the generator yields a value upon close(), shouldn't that throw a > runtime error?

I guess the same as when a __del__() method raises an exception -- print a traceback and go on.
