[New-bugs-announce] [issue6580] No deprecation warning for list comprehension leak conflict

[Michael R Bax]

New submission from Michael R Bax <mrbax at users.sourceforge.net>:

PEP 289 states that "Python 2.4 and beyond should issue a deprecation 
warning if a list comprehension's loop variable has the same name as a 
variable used in the immediately surrounding scope".  But no warning is 
shown when running
    for x in [ 0 ]: print [ x for x in [ 1 ] ]
in Python 2.5.2 (at least).
