Hi,
I am constructing a list of dictionaries via the following list
comprehension:
data = [get_job_efficiency_dict(job_id) for job_id in job_ids]
However,
get_job_efficiency_dict(job_id)
uses 'subprocess.Popen' to run an external program and this can fail.
In this case, the dict should just be omitted from 'data'.
I can have 'get_job_efficiency_dict' return 'None' and then run
filtered_data = list(filter(None, data))
but is there a more elegant way?
Just wondering, why don't you return an empty dictionary in case of a failure?
In that case your list will be all dictionaries and empty ones will be processed
fast enough.
