A couple more interesting tricks in Python 2.4:

Generator Comprehensions

Exactly like a list comprehension, but returns a generator object instead of a list. e.g:

(Toggle Plain Text)

(i for i in range(10) if (i % 2) == 0)

Decorators

Syntaxtic sugar for wrapping a function in another.

e.g:

(Toggle Plain Text)

def bar(f): ...

@bar
def foo(x): ...

Is equivalent to:

(Toggle Plain Text)

def bar(f): ...

def foo(x): ...
foo = bar(foo)
