Hi. First post so here it goes. My name is Adde, and I'm a Swedish software developer. I've been programming for about 23 years now since starting with Basic on the C64. I've been through most well known and a couple of lesser known languages in search of the perfect one. At the moment I'm writing a custom ctypes interface to the Firebird database (need access to advanced features, portability to Windows and I definitely don't enjoy setting up GCC on Windows). I've programmed a lot of C/C++ in my days so I thought I'd at least join the list and see if anything piques my interest enough to dive in. With that out of the way, on to todays subject: I use list comprehensions and generator expressions a lot and lately I've found myself writing a lot of code like this: for i in items if i.some_field == some_value: i.do_something() Naturally it won't work but it seems like a pretty straight-forward extension to allow compressing simple loops to fit on one line. The alternative, in my eyes, suggests there's something more happening than a simple include-test which makes it harder to comprehend. for i in items: if i.some_field == some_value: i.do_something() One possibility of course is to use a generator-expression but that makes it look like there are two for loops and it feels like a waste setting up a generator just for filtering. for i in (i for i in items if some_field == some_value): i.do_something() Stupid idea? Am I missing some obviously better way of achieving the same result? Thanks, Adde
