List comps have always allowed a condition since they were introduced:
  [ <expression> for <variable> in <sequence> if <condition> ]

This is the form of the original question.

Conditional expressions of the form
  <value> if <condition> else <alternate value>
are relatively new. The answers to the original question use this as
part of the <expression> term of the list comp. So they are not using
any new list comp syntax, they are using new expression syntax.
