Python generator expression parentheses oddity

by

It is legal, and the general rule is that you do need parentheses around a generator expression. As a special exception, the parentheses from a function call also count (for functions with only a single parameter). (Documentation)

Note that testing if my_string appears in my_list is as easy as

my_string in my_list

No generator expression or call to any() needed!
