Message375665
The documentation for list comprehensions contains the following phrase:
"As we saw in the previous section, the nested listcomp is evaluated in the context of the for that follows it, so this example is equivalent to:"
This should be corrected, as it currently contradicts what was said previously, which is that list comprehensions and the conditional they contain are scoped in the same order as they appear (rather than the reverse).
This issue can be found on this page: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/datastructures.html
It also seems to appear in the most recent version:
https://docs.python.org/3.10/tutorial/datastructures.html
To confirm that the first (and not the second statement) is correct, you may consider the following code:
l=[]
for x in range(0,3):
for y in range (0,x+1):
l.append((x,y))
print(l)
l=[(x,y) for x in range (0,3) for y in range (0,x+1)]
print(l)
Which run on 3.7.5 produces the following output
[(0, 0), (1, 0), (1, 1), (2, 0), (2, 1), (2, 2)]
[(0, 0), (1, 0), (1, 1), (2, 0), (2, 1), (2, 2)] |
