A colleague of mine came across something anecdotal when working with lambdas, it is expressed by the following code snippet.In [1]: def a(): ...: for i in range(10): ...: def b(): ...: return i ...: yield b ...: ...: In [2]: funcs = list(a()) In [3]: print [f() for f in funcs] [9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9] I understand that for loops in python do not have a scope, neither do if statements, and python is awesome for that. Is this something accidental? i.e. will python ever evolve into having scopes for if and for loops (and other blocks that are not functions)? the reason I ask is with the introduction of http://docs.python.org/py3k/reference/simple_stmts.html#nonlocal it seems like something that can happen.
Question/discussion issues like this belong on python-list or python-ideas list.
