Hi Glyph

    When trying to run inlineCallbacks with Cython, a TypeError would come
out like:

TypeError: inlineCallbacks requires <built-in function test> to produce a
generator; instead got <cy3.__pyx_scope_struct__test object at 0x02808848)

test is the function where inlineCallbacks uses.

It looks like cython changes the name test to  cy3.__pyx_scope_struct__test
internally so generator can't work properly.
