[New-bugs-announce] [issue1863] NameError with genexp in class scope

[Willard]

New submission from Willard:

The following code does not work like expected, it triggers a NameError.

class C:
    a = 42
    list(a for _ in 'x')

>>> NameError: global name 'a' is not defined 

This issue was discussed on comp.lang.python in the thread "Is this a
bug, or is it me?".
