Hi All,
If I have a list comprehension:
ab=["A","B"]
c = "ABC"
[1.0 if c=='A' else c='B' for c in ab]
print c
>>"B"
My test shows that if c is not defined before the list comprehension,
it will be created in the list comprehension; if it is defined before
the list comprehension, the value will be overwritten. In other words,
temp variables are not local to list comprehensions.
My question is why is this and is there any way to make c local to
list comp?
Thanks,
Geoffrey 4 3051

"c='B'" is invalid syntax. Maybe you mean "c=='B'". That doesn't make
much sense, but at least it's correct syntax.
print c
>"B"

it will be created in the list comprehension; if it is defined before

The only way to keep c from being overwritten currently is to avoid
using a list comprehension. Generator expressions don't "leak" their
iteration variable to the outside, so you can write this instead:
list(1.0 if c=='A' else c=='B' for c in ab)

Unfortunately, not as such. They do leak their variable names.
But what you can do ist to create generator expressions (which don't
leak) and put a list around them:
list(1.0 if c == 'A' else c="B" for c in ab)

That's right.

comp?
It was a design decision that is now regretted. There is no way for you
to make it local to the list comp except to wait for a new version of
Python that behaves in the way you want.
Or you can look at generator expressions, which are written just like
list comprehensions except with round brackets (). They are not quite the
same thing, but you can often use one in place of the other.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
