 Michael> I've hit on what looks like a fundamental ambiguity in the

Michael,
You refer to the ref manual documentation:
 Michael> List displays (list comprehensions) are defined as (from
 Michael> http://docs.python.org/ref/lists.html )
Note that the BNF there is mostly designed for human consumption. Have you
verified that the ambiguity is also present in the Grammar file?
