_PyGen_Send() can be removed now, is not?

Can we fold the tracing into the genobject/PyIter_Send inmplementation to avoid code duplication?

That would also make ceval a tad smaller which is always a good thing.

I do not think it is feasible.

There is a call of the trace function in between calls of __next__/send and _PyGen_FetchStopIterationValue. It cannot be called after PyIter_Send because the original exception (which can be a subclass of StopIteration or StopIteration with additional attributes) is already silenced in PyIter_Send. Therefore we should pass the trace function to PyIter_Send, and this would complicate the API.
We can introduce a private function _PyIter_SendWithTrace which accepts also the trace function argument. But would not it make the code more complicated? In any case it is better to left to a separate PR or separate issue.

I was thinking about exporting the call_exc_trace function and calling it directly from genobject.c; the trace function can easily be read from the thread state.
LGTM.
@serhiy-storchaka Serhiy, can you review again? If you're OK I think this is ready to be merged.

I actually don't think we need it. And if we discover a use case we can always (re-)expose it. |

@vladima Let's drop |
Actually, to avoid the churn, let's merge this as is and continue the discussion. We can drop it in a follow up pr. |

@1st1: Please replace |
Add PyIter_Send function to allow sending value into generators/coroutines/iterators and receive results without raising StopIteration exception.
I anticipate more changes related to naming so deferring updating docs before consensus is reached.
