If I recall correctly, it's the generator destructor that handles throwing in ``GeneratorExit`` to get the generator to terminate. So this code can resurrect a generator as it's being collected by the GC:
 def resurrecting(resurrected):
 self = yield
 try:
 yield
 finally:
 resurrected.append(self)
 storage = []
 g = resurrecting(storage)
 g.send(g) # Give the generator a reference to itself
 del g # Now the generator is in a cycle with itself
 gc.collect()
 gc.collect()
 gc.collect()
 # Generator has been added to the storage instead of collected
 assert len(storage) == 1
 # Clear the storage to kill it for real this time
 storage.clear()
 # Weakrefs shouldn't get called until here
Antoine, does that sound right to you?
