This will leak 'items' into the surrounding scope (but not 'x').
At the risk of stating the obvious - wasn't there work in Python 3 to
prevent leakage from comprehensions ?
[x for x in x if x] # This works
[x for y in x if x := y] # UnboundLocalError
The standard library example given earlier notwithstanding, I can see no
benefit in using the same name as the iterator and the loop target name.
To be honest I have trouble parsing that first version, and keeping
track of which x is which (especially which x is being used in the
conditional clause) : surely this would be better : [x_item for x_item
in x if x_item]
Your 2nd example makes no sense to me as to the intention of the code -
the re-use of the name x is confusing at best.
