That's a list comprehension. If you're familiar with functional

Because you are iterating over an empty list, [].
That list comprehension is the equivalent of:
result = []
for name in []:
result.append( os.path.join(r'E:\Python', name) )
Since you iterate over an empty

exactly it means to place lookup the string in the
