More precisely, the parens are not part of the syntax for generator expressions.
Yes they are.
I had the impression that they could appear as a bare expression without parens. But the Python interpreter doesn't support that impression, so I guess I was wrong. Thanks for pointing it out.
You may have been thinking of yield expressions, where the parentheses aren't technically part of the syntax, but are still mandatory in a lot of places to avoid visual ambiguity. Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
