One advantage of the comprehension syntaxes is that the body can be inlined instead of relegated to a lambda, saving the overhead of a Python function call per loop. It would be difficult to do that optimisation with a generator unless things like list(generator) were recognised and special-cased somehow. -- Greg Ewing, Computer Science Dept, +--------------------------------------+ University of Canterbury, | Carpe post meridiem! | Christchurch, New Zealand | (I'm not a morning person.) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] +--------------------------------------+ _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
