    This is a callback which will be put off until later.

    Why do we want this? Well, in cases where a function in a threaded
    program would block until it gets a result, for Twisted it should
    not block. Instead, it should return a L{Deferred}.

    This can be implemented for protocols that run over the network by
    writing an asynchronous protocol for L{twisted.internet}. For methods
    that come from outside packages that are not under our control, we use
    threads (see for example L{twisted.enterprise.adbapi}).

    L{deferredGenerator} and L{waitForDeferred} help you write
    L{Deferred}-using code that looks like a regular sequential function.
    Consider the use of L{inlineCallbacks} instead, which can accomplish
    the same thing in a more concise manner.

    There are two important functions involved: L{waitForDeferred}, and
    L{deferredGenerator}.  They are used together, like this::

        @deferredGenerator
        def thingummy():
            thing = waitForDeferred(makeSomeRequestResultingInDeferred())
            yield thing
            thing = thing.getResult()
            print(thing) #the result! hoorj!

    L{waitForDeferred} returns something that you should immediately yield; when
    your generator is resumed, calling C{thing.getResult()} will either give you
    the result of the L{Deferred} if it was a success, or raise an exception if it
    was a failure.  Calling C{getResult} is B{absolutely mandatory}.  If you do
    not call it, I{your program will not work}.

    L{deferredGenerator} takes one of these waitForDeferred-using generator
    functions and converts it into a function that returns a L{Deferred}. The
    result of the L{Deferred} will be the last value that your generator yielded
    unless the last value is a L{waitForDeferred} instance, in which case the
    result will be L{None}.  If the function raises an unhandled exception, the
    L{Deferred} will errback instead.  Remember that C{return result} won't work;
    use C{yield result; return} in place of that.

    Note that not yielding anything from your generator will make the L{Deferred}
    result in L{None}. Yielding a L{Deferred} from your generator is also an error
    condition; always yield C{waitForDeferred(d)} instead.

    The L{Deferred} returned from your deferred generator may also errback if your
    generator raised an exception.  For example::

        @deferredGenerator
        def thingummy():
            thing = waitForDeferred(makeSomeRequestResultingInDeferred())
            yield thing
            thing = thing.getResult()
            if thing == 'I love Twisted':
                # will become the result of the Deferred
                yield 'TWISTED IS GREAT!'
                return
            else:
                # will trigger an errback
                raise Exception('DESTROY ALL LIFE')

    Put succinctly, these functions connect deferred-using code with this 'fake
    blocking' style in both directions: L{waitForDeferred} converts from a
    L{Deferred} to the 'blocking' style, and L{deferredGenerator} converts from the
    'blocking' style to a L{Deferred}.

def inlineCallbacks(f):
    """
    L{inlineCallbacks} helps you write L{Deferred}-using code that looks like a
    regular sequential function. For example::

        @inlineCallbacks
        def thingummy():
            thing = yield makeSomeRequestResultingInDeferred()
            print(thing)  # the result! hoorj!

    When you call anything that results in a L{Deferred}, you can simply yield it;
    your generator will automatically be resumed when the Deferred's result is
    available. The generator will be sent the result of the L{Deferred} with the
    'send' method on generators, or if the result was a failure, 'throw'.

    Things that are not L{Deferred}s may also be yielded, and your generator
    will be resumed with the same object sent back. This means C{yield}
    performs an operation roughly equivalent to L{maybeDeferred}.

    Your inlineCallbacks-enabled generator will return a L{Deferred} object, which
    will result in the return value of the generator (or will fail with a
    failure object if your generator raises an unhandled exception). Note that
    you can't use C{return result} to return a value; use C{returnValue(result)}
    instead. Falling off the end of the generator, or simply using C{return}
    will cause the L{Deferred} to have a result of L{None}.

    Be aware that L{returnValue} will not accept a L{Deferred} as a parameter.
    If you believe the thing you'd like to return could be a L{Deferred}, do
    this::

        result = yield result
        returnValue(result)

    The L{Deferred} returned from your deferred generator may errback if your
    generator raised an exception::

        @inlineCallbacks
        def thingummy():
            thing = yield makeSomeRequestResultingInDeferred()
            if thing == 'I love Twisted':
                # will become the result of the Deferred
                returnValue('TWISTED IS GREAT!')
            else:
                # will trigger an errback
                raise Exception('DESTROY ALL LIFE')

    It is possible to use the C{return} statement instead of L{returnValue}::

        @inlineCallbacks
        def loadData(url):
            response = yield makeRequest(url)
            return json.loads(response)

    You can cancel the L{Deferred} returned from your L{inlineCallbacks}
    generator before it is fired by your generator completing (either by
    reaching its end, a C{return} statement, or by calling L{returnValue}).
    A C{CancelledError} will be raised from the C{yield}ed L{Deferred} that
    has been cancelled if that C{Deferred} does not otherwise suppress it.
