I don't see how this is different to just:
for x in range(50): print(x)
Can you elaborate further?

> this above command will not return anything and will just run the command that is underlined over a generator. thus running a command comprehension or do comprehension. this will stop people from using the list comprehension to run an iterable through a function when they dont want to return anything. ( Specifically if memory is something we would want to conserve, such as in multithreaded web applications. )
