New submission from Jim Fasarakis-Hilliard:
Reported from [1] and similar to issue11205
Currently the evaluation order for keys and values in a dictionary
comprehension follows that of assignments. The values get evaluated first and
then the keys:
def printer(v):
print(v, end=' ')
return v
d = {printer(i): printer(j) for i, j in [(1, 2), (3, 4)]}
# 2 1 4 3
This seems to conflict with the semantics as described in the Semantics section
of PEP 274 [2] and according to my interpretation of the reference manual (I'd
expect the evaluation to be similar to dict-displays).
How should this be addressed? Fix the evaluation order or specify this edge
case an "Implementation detail" in the reference manual?
I already have a fix for this lying around (changes to
`compiler_sync_comprehension_generator`,
`compiler_sync_comprehension_generator` and a switch in `MAP_ADD`) and can make
a pull request if required.
I'm not sure if this is classified as a bug per-se so I only tagged Py3.7 for
it.
