[Python-projects] W0631 - False positive (possibly undefined loop variable)

[Paul `Satoshi' Hachmann]

I believe I've encountered a false positive (W0631) - a minimal test case is:

-------------
for x in []:
    pass

for x in range(3):
    print (lambda : x)() # W0631 here
-------------

Note that removing the first loop, or using 'x' directly, rather than in a
lambda expression in the second, clears up the false positive.

It's not the same as #2463, since we're only ever using 'x' inside a loop
(where it obviously must be defined). It might be the same as #6015,
though.
