A lot has been said about PEP 572. I am planning to accept it soon, hopefully within a week. I realize I should have posted the draft from May 22 (when Tim and I were added as authors and it was significantly updated -- see https://github.com/python/peps/pull/654). For this I apologize. Since then we've been diligently updating various details, tightening the spec without really changing the intended design.

Thanks for the updates, especially the new Appendix B that walks through the comprehension scoping cases with worked examples.

I've submitted a couple of minor PRs, but this version of the PEP looks solid to me, and makes the case for change well (I'm still only a +0 personally, but I can also see myself some day saying "Yeah, that turned out to be worth it in the long run")

Cheers, Nick.
