Not in any language called Python I know of.

Supposedly 28 years programming experience, and you can't even see the
_serious_ problems with "a()" --> "a() for a in b". Well, that explains a
lot about the lousy state of so many programming projects.

What's b? Given "a()", how does the compiler identify which b is the one
to look at? How does the recursive reference to a() terminate?

Please don't come back until you have a clue.
