You can't use yield except in a generator function. From
<http://docs.python.org/ref/yieldexpr.html> and the grammar definition at
<http://docs.python.org/ref/grammar.txt> you can see that

assignment_stmt ::=
(target_list "=")+
(expression_list | yield_expression)

yield_expression ::= "yield" [expression_list]

The last expression_list is optional so a bare yield should be allowed in
the right hand side of an assignment, as if it were `yield None` (I think
such behavior is specified in the original PEP). Let's try:

py> def gen():
.... x = yield
.... y = yield "second"
.... yield x, y
....
py> g = gen()
py> print g.next()
None
py> print g.send(123)
second
py> print g.send(456)
(123, 456)
py> print g.send(789)
