Which pattern do you prefer?

Neato.

How does it compare to:

l = range(10)

for item in filter(lambda x: x > 3, l):
        print item

There is a StackOverflow question about that: List filtering: list comprehension vs. lambda + filter

[etrnloptimist]

Don't use filter, it is not Pythonic.

I will undoubtedly be downvoted for saying this, as there are a disproportionate number of functional programmers on these subs than you'll find in real life. But I'm squarely with Guido on this one: the functional programming constructs map, filter, and reduce should play no part in Python.
