Okay, I may be arguing the point a bit after all...  |
List comprehensions, as well as generator expressions which are the predictable way to get a lighter-memory iterator when you actually want an iterator.
It is probably worth noting that python-modernize will happily convert filter()/map() to list/generator expressions.
Can't be too wrong to do the same yourself...
