You appear to be mis-informed about Python 2.3.  The best information
you can get about what will be in 2.3 is here:
    http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0283.html

Generators (quite similar to CLU iterators) were in Python 2.2.  In a
fit of extreme paranoia, we made them depend on a future statement
(from __future__ import generators) to avoid breaking any code that
used a variable named yield.  In Python 2.3 and up, yield is a
keyword.  There's no new syntax.
