No, it's not. For a more concrete example: [*range(x) for x in range(4)] [*(),*(0,),*(0,1),*(0,1,2)] [0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 2] There is simply no way to get there by using flatten(range(4)). The only way flatten *without* a generator expression can serve the same use cases as this proposal is for comprehensions of the *exact* form [*x for x in y]. For all other cases you'd need list(flatten(...generator expression without star...)). _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
