I don't care for await await x. On Apr 28, 2015 6:53 PM, "Yury Selivanov" <yselivanov.ml at gmail.com> wrote:

Looking at the grammar -- the only downside of the current approach is that you can't do 'await await fut'. I still think that it reads better with parens. If we put 'await' to 'factor' terminal we would allow

await -fut # await (-fut) I think I something like power: atomexpr ['**' factor] atomexpr: [AWAIT] atomexpr | atomtrailer atomtrailer: atom trailer* will fix 'await await' situation, but does it really need to be fixed? Yury

I've done some experiments with grammar, and it looks like we indeed can parse await quite differently from yield. Three different options:

You don't seem to have tried what I suggested, which is to make 'await' a unary operator with the same precedence as '-', i.e. replace factor: ('+'|'-'|'~') factor | power with factor: ('+'|'-'|'~'|'await') factor | power That would allow await a() res = await a() + await b() res = await await a() if await a(): pass return await a() print(await a()) func(arg=await a()) await a() * b()
