You're right. It needs a while loop instead of the if (and some slight
reordering):

def ints():
   i=0
   queue=[]
   while True:
       if queue:  # see other thread, this IS legal and pythonic and
quite sensible
           sent=(yield queue.pop(0))
       else:
           sent=(yield i)
           i+=1
       while sent is not None:
           queue.append(sent)
           sent=(yield None)  # This is the return value from gen.send()

That should work.
