New submission from Mario Wenzel: if I have an assignment a = <some_generator> then a is the generator.
But if I do any kind of unpacking *a, = <some_generator> # a list of all items a, *aa = <some_generator> # first item in a, list of rest in as If the right-hand side is a generator expression, I would expect that a, *aa unpacks the first element into a and puts the whole generator (having yielded the first element) back into aa. So the star-operator of tuple unpacking with the right-hand-side having a generator should be lazy and not exhaust the whole generator. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 253985 nosy: Mario Wenzel priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: tuple unpacking on assignment should be lazy for unpacked generators type: enhancement versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25542> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
