Well almost...
Except that the 'loop' I am talking of is one of
def loop():
return [yield (lambda: x) for x in [1,2,3]]
or
return (yield (lambda: x) for x in [1,2,3])
or just plain ol
(lambda x: for x in [1,2,3])
IOW loop is an imperative construct, comprehensions are declarative
I'm sorry, you've made a logical leap too far here. I understand loops
being imperative, but how are comprehensions declarative? What do they
declare that the loop equivalent doesn't.
You've made a great deal of the "for" in a comprehension not having the
same meaning as the "for" in a loop. That may well be true in the
equivalent Haskell constructs (I don't speak or write Haskell), but I
think you are wrong in Python. If so, please stop trying to write Haskell
in Python; you'll be as happy as the friend of mine I've finally persuaded
to stop writing Fortran in Python, I promise!
