For me, it's the fact that: [[a for a in b] for b in ['uvw', 'xyz']] == [['u', 'v', 'w'], ['x', 'y', 'z']] which makes me want to write: [a for a in b for b in ['uvw', 'xyz']]
You're not alone! Lately I've been becoming convinced that this is the way we should have done it right back at the beginning. But it's far too late to change it now, sadly. Our only hope would be to introduce a new syntax, maybe [a for a in b; for b in ['uvw', 'xyz']] Inserting the semicolons mightn't be such a bad idea, because when doing the reversal it would be necessary to keep any 'if' clauses together with their preceding 'for' clause. So if we wrote [a for a in b if cond(a); for b in things] we could say the rule is that you split at the semicolons and then reverse the clauses. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
