Syntactically this looks like a list comprehension, and g should be a list,
right? But actually it is a generator. This
code is equivalent to the following code:
def _make_list(it):
result = []
for i in it:
result.append(yield i)
return result
g = _make_list(iter(range(3)))
Due to "yield" in the expression _make_list() is not a function returning a
list, but a generator function returning a
generator.
The [] syntax says g should be list. Seems to me we could do either of:
1) raise if the returned object is not a list;
2) wrap a returned object in a list if it isn't one already;
In other words, (2) would make
g = [(yield i) for i in range(3)]
and
g = [((yield i) for i in range(3))]
be the same.
I have no idea how either of those solutions would interact with async/await.
