If we forget about dynamic scoping (I don't know why it's being brought up all the time, TBH; nobody uses it, almost no language implements it)
Probably because it's not lexical scoping, and possibly because it's possible for a function to be running with one EC on one call, and a different EC on the next -- hence, the EC it's using is dynamically determined.
It seems to me the biggest difference between "true" dynamic scoping and what PEP 550 implements is the granularity: i.e. not every single function gets it's own LC, just a select few: generators, async stuff, etc.
Am I right? (No CS degree here.) If not, what are the differences? -- ~Ethan~ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
