I don't understand what you mean by this. The syntax for lambda is (roughly): lambda parameter-list : expression The syntax for generators is (again, roughly): def name ( parameter-list ) : suite-containing-yield Obviously the generator suite can contain expressions, and both have a parameter-list. What shared syntax are you referring to, and how is it relevant? Or are you referring to generator expressions, rather than generators? ( expression for target in expression ... ) Obviously a Python expression is a Python expression, wherever it is, so a lambda can contain generator expressions, and generator expressions can contain lambdas... And what do you mean by "simplified AST" API? I'm afraid your comment is too abstract for me to understand. -- 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/
