I gave a more detailed answer to that in https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2018-March/049138.html, but the short version is: * prohibiting closing over them opens up a lot of opportunities to simplify the implementation * prohibiting closing over them increase their semantic distance from regular function locals, making it easier for people to answer the question "Should I use a function local or a statement local?" in the future Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
