Results from two Python courses: * In terms of teaching gexexps, there was no net gain or loss. When genexps are show side-by-side with list/dict/set comps the symmetric relationship was obvious regardless of terminology. * In terms of being able to search StackOverflow, blog posts, and external resources, the new terminology made the resources unfindable. * When using the new terminology, I did get questions that never came up before, "why don't the parentheses mean tuple-comprehension". Based on those results, I recommend we keep the terminology the same as it is now. The loss of searchability isn't worth it (there doesn't seem to be any upside) and it is concerning that a new category of confusion (list/tuple comprehension) seems to be arising from the change in terminology. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34117> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
