Re: [Python-Dev] Multiple expression eval in compound if statement?

Raymond> I think it unwise to allow x to be any expression. How do you decide what's "too complex"? Even an apparently simple variable can have side effects, so the semantic change bit is important no matter how complex the expression. (Consider the builtin help object. Type it at the prompt with no parens.) Like I said, "I'm horsing around with...". If this never makes it into Python I can accept that. The interesting thing for me at this point is the code generation anyway. I figure if Guido reconsiders PEP 275 (I think it covers all the bases), then the code generation stuff will probably be of some use. Skip
