Does 'list comprehension' mean a detailed explanation of the code? If so, then I'll be reading a lot of them in the near future. I really do appreciate the dedication and attention to detail. Thanks.
List comprehension are a python/programming term. They allow one to make a list without generating a blank one and appending to it. A very basic example: newlist = [item for item in spam(eggs)] is the same as newlist = [] for item in spam(eggs): newlist.append(item) If you walk through the code from earlier, you can see where a list comprehension saved some lines and made the flow easier to read.
