But list(genexp) gives you very nearly the same thing -- so near that I find it hard to imagine anyone would have thought to suggest a dedicated LC syntax if genexps had already been present in the language. And if anyone had, Guido would have said "-1, too many ways to do it". -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
