Are suites nestable? E.g., is this legal? x = term1 + term2 where: term1 = a*b where: a = 123 b = 456 term2 = math.pi Reminds me of some kind of weird let ;-) And, is the whole thing after the '=' an expression? E.g., x = ( foo(x) where: x = math.pi/4.0 ) where: def foo(x): print 'just for illustration', x or is this legal? for y in ([foo(x) for x in bar] where: bar = xrange(5) ): baz(y) where: def baz(arg): return arg*2 Not trying to sabotage the idea, really, just looking for clarification ;-) Regards, Bengt Richter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
