List comprehensions provide a concise way to create lists. Common applications are to make new lists where each element is the result of some operations applied to each member of another sequence or iterable, or to create a subsequence of those elements that satisfy a certain condition.

aliquot = []

for n in range(1,100):
  if n%3 == 0:
    aliquot.append(n)

print aliquot

>>> aliquot = [n for n in range(1,100) if n%3==0]
>>> aliquot
[3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45, 48, 51, 54, 57, 60, 63, 66, 69, 72, 75, 78, 81, 84, 87, 90, 93, 96, 99]

>>> mybag = [' glass',' apple','green leaf ']  #有的前面有空格，有的后面有空格
>>> [one.strip() for one in mybag]       #去掉元素前后的空格
['glass', 'apple', 'green leaf']
enumerate

>>> for i in range(len(week)):
...   print week[i]+' is '+str(i)   #注意，i是int类型，如果和前面的用+连接，必须是str类型
... 
monday is 0
sunday is 1
friday is 2

>>> for (i,day) in enumerate(week):
...   print day+' is '+str(i)
... 
monday is 0
sunday is 1
friday is 2

>>> seasons = ['Spring', 'Summer', 'Fall', 'Winter']
>>> list(enumerate(seasons))
[(0, 'Spring'), (1, 'Summer'), (2, 'Fall'), (3, 'Winter')]
>>> list(enumerate(seasons, start=1))
[(1, 'Spring'), (2, 'Summer'), (3, 'Fall'), (4, 'Winter')]
