The intent was to make it so that '(yield optional_expr)' always works, and also that [lvalue =] yield optional_expr works. If you can find another way to hack the grammar so that both of 'em work, it's certainly okay by me. The changes I made were just the simplest things I could figure out to do. I seem to recall that the hard part was the need for 'yield expr,expr' to be interpreted as '(yield expr,expr)', not '(yield expr),expr', for backward compatibility reasons. _______________________________________________ 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
