You want to append 0 if the list does not have at least 5 items?

Because that's incorrect syntax.

for f in fups:
if len(f) < 5:
f.append(0)
Or, if you really want to use a list comprehension:
[f.append(0) for f in fups if len(f) < 5]
However there's no reason to use a list comprehension here. The whole
point of list comprehensions is to create a *new* list, which you don't
appear to need; you just need to modify the existing fups list.
