how to test for nesting inlist

[cpsoct at my-deja.com]

What are list comprehensions? I have looked and looked and looked in
books and on www.python.org and i see no mention of these. Is this
something new? or i am i just getting tripped up by the jargon and list
compreshensions are something i already know by another name? I am
confused. Hmm.....
