Did you remember to tell your girlfriend that a critical property of the "??? for i in range(4)" construct is that it generates one value per loop? It loops four times, so it generates exactly four values (in this case, each value is a bracketed term). > Let's remove these inner parentheses again. > > >>> [*(i,i,i) for i in range(4)] > File "<stdin>", line 1 > SyntaxError: iterable unpacking cannot be used in comprehension It loops four times, so it must generate four values. What's the star supposed to do? Turn four loops into twelve? -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
