2) Just as I've replied to Terry J. Reed, if you find list comprehensions easy to read, you're also bound to be able to understand what "for in if :" does, at least AFAICT.

I tend to write non-trivial LCs on multiple lines, e.g.

l = [foo(x) for x in stuff if something_about(x)]

for the very reason that it makes them easier to read.
