By reading [1] (and PEP-380), it seems to me that the "value" property is rather set to be the value of the return statement. Thus, to be more complete and to avoid confusion: Inside a generator function, a return statement will throw a StopIteration instance with its "value" property set to the value of the return statement and its "source" property set to the generator iterator which is being terminated. You can create manually such a StopIteration with: new StopIteration(source, value)

More precisely, inside a generator function, a return statement will throw a StopIteration instance with its "source" property set to the generator iterator which was terminated.
