Having names not leak from listcomps and genexps is a good thing.
In a way this makes sense because you can think of them as a type of function literal.
Having names not leak from if/else or while is confusing and irritating: there is no scope there, and at least 'while' should be similar to 'for' which also does a name binding and does /not/ unset it at the end.

I also get the feeling the solution is more complex than the problem. Ummm... to clarify that. The inconvenience of not having the solution to the apparent problem, is less of a problem than the possible problems I think might arise with the solution. It's Kind of like parsing that sentence, Ron
