How loop variables might be isolated without a nested scope: After a comprehension is parsed, so that names become strings, rename the loop variables to something otherwise illegal. For instance, i could become '<i>', just as lambda becomes '<lambda>' as the name of the resulting function. Expand the comprehension as in Python 2, except for deleting the loop names along with the temporary result name.
Assignment expressions within a comprehension would become assignment expressions within the for loop expansion and would automatically add or replace values in the namespace containing the comprehension. In other words, I am suggesting that if we want name expressions in comprehensions to act as they would in Python 2, then we should consider reverting to an altered version of the Python 2 expansion.
So..... sublocal scopes, like in the earliest versions of PEP 572? The wheel turns round and round, and the same spokes come up. ChrisA
