Run three Claude Code sessions at once and you know this feeling: the API server was on 3000, now it's on 3001, now something else grabbed 3001 and Vite jumped to 5174.

Below are the list comprehension examples I actually use, from the basic form to filtering, if/else, nested loops and the mistakes that tripped me up. When I started learning Python, comprehensions looked like a puzzle. Once I learned to read them out loud, they became one of my favourite parts of the language.
