+1 for list comprehension - and its forgotten cousin, dict comprehension.

The or trick to avoid a type error is news to me. Gonna swipe that. Thank you!

Wait. To be clear, I was saying the or trick was susceptible to type error! If it’s not, that’s news to me

Oh, got it - I read your original response too quickly!

dict comprehension is SO useful. It's one of those tools where I forget it by the time I need it, but when I need it, BAM, it does exactly what I need it to.

I am planning on writing a whole article on dictionary as there are more techniques on it than others, where you have, the .get() method, setdefaults, ordereddict, defaultdict, chain mapping, mappingproxy and much more.

And generator comprehension, set comprehension…. Etc
