E.g., so we could write
for x in seq if x is not None:
print repr(x), "isn't None ;-)"
instead of
for x in (x for x in seq if x is not None):
print repr(x), "isn't None ;-)"
just a thought.

What's wrong with the following?

Is it new idea month? :)
That would seem to follow the pattern of combining sequential lines that
end in ':'.
if pay<10 if hours>10 if stressed:
sys.exit()
That would be the same as using ands.
And this gives us an if-try pattern with a shared else clause.
if trapped try:
exit = find('door')
except:
yell_for_help()
else: #works for both if and try! ;-D
leave()
Which would be the same as:
if trapped:
try:
exit = find('door')
except:
yell_for_help()
else:
leave()
else:
leave()
Interesting idea, but I think it might make reading other peoples code
more difficult.
Cheers,
Ron

Perhaps not if you wanted to enumerate the selected elements, as in
for i, x in enumerate(x for x in seq if x is not None): print repr(x), "isn't None ;-)"
just a thought.

Nothing. Just noting that there's (at least) two kinds of for --
the plain old one, and the ones inside list comprehensions and generator
expressions, and it struck me that not allowing the full listcomp/genexp
syntax in the ordinary for context was a seemingly unnecessary restriction.

Seems like a bug waiting to happen -- wouldn't someone using that
idiom most likely have *meant* something like this:
for i,x in enumerate(seq):
if x is not None:
print "seq[%d] = %s is not None" % (i, repr(x))
?
But of course that's not equivalent. It's hard to imagine a
use case for an enumerated loop when the object being
iterated over is anonymous (will be lost as soon as the loop
exits).

Line numbers in a listing of non-None things?
Page breaks at the right places?
Filtering out '' instead of NOne from results of a string split before creating numbered
html names for links to non-blank text elements in rendering text as html?
I dunno, seems like at least a few possibilities for something halfway sensible...

Huh? Not at all.
