Consider the following invalid Python code: >>> def f(x): ... a=1 ... f(a)=2 ... File "<stdin>", line 3 SyntaxError: can't assign to function call
but Sage allows f to be defined: sage: def f(x): ....: a=1 ....: f(a)=2 ....: sage: type(f) <type 'function'> It doesn't make sense to me to allow this to happen. In this sense, #10747 is only a half-solution (it would catch things like f(1)=2 inside def f(..): body) Dima -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
