I think by "if you mean literally some_predicate" he was taking some_predicate as a variable [rather than an expression] that does not change during the loop. That'd be a silly thing to do in the originally posted code, though, since it'd be easier to do "[] if not some_predicate else [...]" -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
