[Python-projects] PyLint: scope of variable of list comprehension

[Maarten ter Huurne]

Hi,

If I run PyLint on this program:
===
l = [n for n in range(10)]
def f():
        n = 2
        return n
===

It says:
===
W0621:  3:f: Redefining name 'n' from outer scope (line 1)
===

The same happens if I use a generator expression, like this:
===
l = list(n for n in range(10))
===

But if I run this code in Python, there is no variable named "n" in the 
global scope. So it seems that in this respect, the "for" of a list 
comprehension / generator expression is different than the "for" 
statement.

Bye,
                Maarten
