I presume the point of this is to avoid polluting the local namespace with "newval". I further presume you also have plans to do something about "i"? ;-)
no, the point is in grouping definition of newval() with place where it is used.
I'd have said the point was both :)
But yeah, unfortunately the 'leaking list comp' problem won't be fixed in the 2.x series due to the compatibility problem. Fortunately, generator expressions didn't inherit the issue.
Cheers, Nick.
