Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amaur...@gmail.com> added the comment:
This is expected, and is due to the late binding of the "label" variable in the
"item+label" expression. Look at the example below:
>>> l = [lambda item: item + label for label in "ab"]
>>> f1, f2 = l
>>> print f1(''), f2('')
b b
For the lambda function, 'label' is a free variable, whose value is fetched
from the global environment at runtime. But at the time the second time is
executed, 'label' has only one value, the last one from the for loop, and both
functions only see 'b'.
A Generator Expression also defines a code block, and the late binding also
applies.
Now to fix your code, if 'ab' can be of arbitrary length, I can't find a
simpler way without yet another inline function:
l = [(lambda lbl:(item + lbl for item in t))(label) for t, label in
zip(tees,"ab")]
'lbl' is still a free variable, but now 'lbl' comes from the lambda function,
and there is one *different* *function* per iteration of the loop; so they are
in fact distinct 'lbl' variables, and the generator expressions will correctly
see different labels.
