Quick survey: locals in comprehensions (Python 3 only)

[Steven D'Aprano]

From: Steven D'Aprano <steve+comp.lang.python at pearwood.info>

I'd like to run a quick survey. There is no right or wrong answer, since this
is about your EXPECTATIONS, not what Python actually does.

Given this function:


def test():
    a = 1
    b = 2
    result = [value for key, value in locals().items()]
    return result




what would you expect the result of calling test() to be? Is that the result
you think is most useful? In your opinion, is this a useful feature, a
misfeature, a bug, or "whatever"?

I'm only looking for answers for Python 3. (The results in Python 2 are
genuinely weird :-)
