That's not a generator expression, that's a generator function. Nobody contests they can reference earlier states, that's most of their point :-) For context, we're trying to build Turing Completeness into Python without indentation. I bailed out of a Xah Lee thread because people have probably killed it :-) and this is entirely unrelated by now, except in the vague sense he started with an (I'm sure entirely accidentally) thought-provoking question. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
