I'm glad this is forbidden now.
That wasn't a syntax issue; it was an API issue. list.append() allowed multiple arguments and interpreted them as if they were a single tuple. That was confusing and unnecessary. Allowing generator expressions to forgo extra parentheses where they aren't required is something different, and in my opinion, a good thing. -- Robert Kern [EMAIL PROTECTED] "In the fields of hell where the grass grows high Are the graves of dreams allowed to die." -- Richard Harter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
