Closures in Haskell's list comprehensions work as Fernando (and many others would expect). See for instance this post: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_frm/thread/d691240a5cfebcdf/63234494ebbca54e?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=simionato+haskell#63234494ebbca54e Michele Simionato -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
