In the yield statement documentation (http://docs.python.org/3.0/reference/simple_stmts.html#the-yield-statement), the old way of calling generators is used: "The body of the generator function is executed by calling the generator’s next() method repeatedly until it raises an exception." This should be changed to something like: "The body of the generator function is executed by calling the next() function on the generator repeatedly until it raises an exception." Or just replace next() with __next__(), and fix the next paragraph as well.

I would go with the first suggestion as that was the intent of adding next() as a builtin function.
