As others have pointed out, it's called a "list comprehension". But
it's syntax, so the proper place to look for it is the "Language
Reference", not the "Library Reference". Except in this case, the
language reference is fairly opaque, so you're better off using the
google references others have already provided.
You might also look for the related construct, "generator
expressions".
