[Jiafei Peng]

New submission from Jiafei Peng <jiafei.peng at iav.de>:

eval() function in List Comprehension doesn't work.
please see the under codes:

canBusType = 'CANdiag'
result = [eval('canBusType') for i in range(3)]
NameError: name 'canBusType' is not defined

It did work in Python2.5 or 2.6. The expected result is 
['CANdiag', 'CANdiag', 'CANdiag'].
