Oops. I misread "[fcn2(x) for i in xrange(10)]" as "[fcn2(x) for x in xrange(10)]". The latter is so much more common of a pattern that I guess I didn't even *look* at what the loop variable was. Weird. I guess the mind is a terrible thing. :) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
