A ForLoop in square brackets to remove blanks from list.

See more:

Python

disList = [i for i in disList if i != '']

I have run across this line in my code and know that is used to remove blank values from a pre-established:

disList

I was able to determine its intended result from the context of my own code.

However, it is a very cool little code for what was needed to be done and how fast it did it.

What is the "common name" of this type of list manipulation? I would love to learn more about the limits of what kinds of forLoops can be passed through square brackets. And where else forLoops can do this (tuples, dictionaries?)
