[issue5242] eval() function in List Comprehension doesn't work

Tim Gordon tim...@aleph17.co.uk added the comment: If you know what variable you are going to be eval-ing, or at least, have a list of those that might be eval-ed, you can get around this issue by making sure they are explicitly referenced in the inner scope (i.e., in the list comprehension
