Ahh, I see what you mean. Thing is, there's a definite difference between "this
is None" and "this doesn't have a value". The latter situation is indicated by
simply not having the local.
def f():
print("; ".join("%s=%r" % x for x in locals().items()))
a = 1
print("; ".join("%s=%r" % x for x in locals().items()))
b = 2
print("; ".join("%s=%r" % x for x in locals().items()))
The results may surprise you, or may not.
This part has nothing to do with the behaviour of locals inside a
comprehension, though. The important part is that, like me, you would like
comprehensions to represent a block of code inside the current function, not an
implicit nested function.
