I think it's well worth overcoming come "community resistance to new syntax" to get this kind of advantage easily. The trick of binding outer-scope variables as default args is neat but buys less than the pure idea of just using a generator rather than a list comprehension.
Thanks for the measurements!
Is someone interested in writing up a PEP and taking it to the community? Or do I have to do it myself (and risk another newsgroup meltdown)?
I'm interested, if it can wait until next week (in a few hours I'm flying off for a trip and I won't even have my laptop along). What's the procedure for requesting a PEP number, again? Alex
