| Guido, I thought you had decided for this to just be a 3.x feature. Alex, if this goes forward, were you also going to change the repr() for sets and the corresponding pprint code? Are set comprehensions on the radar screen also. IMO, these all go hand in hand. |

| I think we should keep the repr() of sets as is to avoid breaking any code. And yes, I plan to port set comprehensions along with dict comprehension. |

| Raymond, I know you see this differently, but personally I don't see a problem with 2.7 getting additional backports of 3.x features, as long as they are backwards compatible. While personally I wouldn't spend effort on this particular backport, I don't see a problem when someone volunteers a patch. In this specific case, I am fine with accepting set literals and set comprehensions as new syntax. I do agree that repr() needs to be kept the same as it was under 2.6. |

| These all seem fine to me. Was just checking in because I thought you had previously pronounced otherwise. |
