Not since Python 3.0. Instead, they create a nested function, the same way
generator expressions do (which is why the name resolution semantics are
now identical between the two cases).
The differences in structure between the four cases (genexp, list/set/dict
comprehensions) then relate mainly to what the innermost loop does:
result.append(expr) # list comp
result.add(expr) # set comp
result[k] = v # dict comp
yield expr # genexp
Thus, when the expression itself is a yield expression, you get:
result.append(yield expr) # list comp
result.add(yield expr) # set comp
result[k] = (yield v) # dict comp
yield (yield expr) # genexp
Cheers,
Nick.
