Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment: All examples so far (*) have to do with our inability to have properly nested blocks. If we did, I'd make the except clause a block, and I'd issue a syntax warning or error if a nested block shadowed a variable referenced outside it. Ditto for generator expressions and comprehensions.
As long as we don't have nested blocks, I think it's okay to see the limitation on (implicit or explicit) "del" of a cell variable as a compiler deficiency and fix that deficiency. __________ (*) However there's also this example: >>> def f(): ... try: 1/0 ... except Exception as a: ... def g(): return a ... return g ... SyntaxError: can not delete variable 'a' referenced in nested scope >>> ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4617> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
