This (and the equivalent in while loops) is the big win in the PEP, in my
opinion. The number of ugly loops I've had to write in Python because I
can't write "while (something_to_do() as event):"... +1 on this.
# Using a statement-local name
stuff = [[(f(x) as y), x/y] for x in range(5)]
As Paul said, the asymmetry of this bothers me a lot. It doesn't read
naturally to me. -1 on this.
Interesting. I fully expected to get a lot more backlash for the
if/while usage, but a number of people are saying that that's the only
(or the biggest) part of this proposal that they like.
This is the part of the PEP that I really like as well -- far more useful to me than the list-comp examples. I could
even be +0.5 if the "if/while/for" compound statements were kept and the comprehensions dropped -- but not with leading
dots -- I would rather do $ than . . Kind of like decorators, they shouldn't be used all that often.
