Thanks!  Just a small comment.  You wrote in the PEP draft:

I don't understand what you mean here.  If the (y as x) syntax is to
have, as you say, "the exact same semantics as regular assignment", then
assignments inside list comprehensions would always "leak".  But this is
a good thing, because this is consistent with how Python behaves.
