Re: [Python-Dev] for loop with if filter

I am finding myself often doing for loops over a subset of a list, like:

for r in results: if r.numNodes != numNodes: continue # do something with r

It would be nice if the plain for loop was as flexible as list comprehensions and allowed an optional if clause, like this:

for r in results if r.numNodes == numNodes: # do something with r

You can do the same today, sans sugar: for r in (s for s in results if s.numNodes == numNodes): # do something with r -- Benji York http://benjiyork.com
