Spencer Brown <spencer...@live.com> added the comment:

This is intentional behaviour, you actually created an infinite loop. When you 
iterate over a list, all Python does is track the current index through the 
list internally, incrementing it each time. But each iteration, you call 
list.append() to add a new item to the end of the list, so you're continually 
making it longer and preventing the iteration from ending.

Regardless of that, this probably isn't a good use of list comprehensions 
anyway - append() always returns None, so the result of this comprehension 
would be a useless list of Nones. It'd be better to just use a regular for 
loop, or if you're just wanting to copy the list call list.copy() or 
list(your_list).
