Why not just f = > [i.split() for i in d]? `if i` means `if i is considered true`. In this case we are talking about strings: "" is false and all other strings are true. So this is a way to say `if i is not the empty string`, effectively filtering out empty lines. Perhaps using more meaningful names for variables makes the code more clear: exploded_lines = [line.split() for line in lines if line] -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
