See http://docs.python.org/tutorial/datastructures.html#list-comprehensions

That's a bit more obscure, and I'm not entirely surprised it's not in
a tutorial:
http://docs.python.org/reference/expressions.html#boolean-operations


You might want to try the official tutorial (unless it's the one
you're complaining about):
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/index.html

I've also heard good things about Dive Into Python:
http://diveintopython.org/

Cheers,
