I'm pretty new to Python, and trying to parse the grammar.
Q: What is the scope of the testlist in a list_for?
For example;
Instead of;
for x in [ x in dict if dict[x]=="thing" ]:
in this:
for x in dict and dict[x]=="thing":
x is undefined.
And why doesn't this work:
for x in dict if dict[x]=="thing":
Any insights/hints on why it is broken?
Thanks,
Gregory
