Syntax across languages

This post comes from a boring morning, if you are busy ignore this. This post is only for relaxed people. I've found this page, "Syntax Across Languages", it contains many errors and omissions, but it's interesting. http://merd.sourceforge.net/pixel/language-study/syntax-across-languages.html Com

execution order in list/generator expression

Hi, I am wondering how this is evaluated. a=(x for x in [1,2,3,4]) p=[4,5] c=[x for x in p if x in list(a)] c is [] but if I expand a first, like a = list(a) c is [4] So it seems that the "if" part don't get expanded ? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Ah, no wonder. I test with p=[5,4]. thanks. so basically, I still need to expand it first given this behaviour. Robert Kern wrote: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I am wondering how this is evaluated. > > > > a=(x for x in [1,2,3,4]) > > p=[4,5] > > > > c=[x for x in p if x in list(a)]
