What does "~" do in python besides being a bitwise negation op?

Question

I've seen it being used in a couple of projects in conjunction with yield and Deferred like so: yield ~ some_fun(). Sometimes it works without the ~ bit, sometimes it doesn't. Can't figure out what it actually does, help.

A bit vague. Why not give *examples* of when it works without `~` and when it doesn't? — John Coleman, Jun 04 '18 at 14:24

Check the class being 'inverted' has a __invert__(self) method, if so, that's overriding the tilde operator.
