[docs] [issue14845] list(<generator expression>) != [<list comprehension>]

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson added the comment:

@wolma: I don't think PEP 479 is relevant here: we're not raising StopIteration inside a generator function, which is the situation that PEP 479 covers. The behaviour in 3.6 matches that originally reported:

Python 3.6.0b3 (default, Nov  2 2016, 08:15:32) 
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 6.0 (clang-600.0.57)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> def five(x):
...     for _ in range(5):
...         yield x
... 
>>> F = five('x')
>>> [next(F) for _ in range(10)]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <listcomp>
StopIteration
>>> F = five('x')
>>> list(next(F) for _ in range(10))
['x', 'x', 'x', 'x', 'x']
