[python-uk] TDD stuff in London, next two weeks (and list comprehension scoping)

*//excursus on the moan *
The problem with  seems to be with scopes vs namespace differentiation
rather than comprehensions (though I haven't *actually* tried this in
python 3). So this problem only should occur in class bodies. And doing
heavy lifting stuff like comprehensions in a class body is a bit dangerous,
and you'd be better off doing it "properly" with a bit of metaprogramming
 or wrapping it in function (which you could actually call in the body of
the module after class definition and then modify the class after creation)
