[Python-ideas] A real life example of "given"

[Neil Girdhar]

Yes, you're right. That's the ambiguity I mentioned in my last message.
It's too bad because I want given for expressions and given for
comprehensions. But if you have both, there's ambiguity and you would at
least need parentheses:

[(y given y=2*x) for x in range(3)]

That might be fine.
