Differences between Cython and Pyrex
**************************************
List Comprehensions
====================
List/Set/Dict Comprehensions
=============================
Cython supports the different comprehensions defined by Python 3.0 for
lists, sets and dicts::
[expr(x) for x in A] # list
{expr(x) for x in A} # set
{key(x) : value(x) for x in A} # dict
Looping is optimized if ``A`` is a list, tuple or dict. You can use
the :keyword:`for` ... :keyword:`from` syntax, too, but it is
generally preferred to use the usual :keyword:`for` ... :keyword:`in`
``range(...)`` syntax with a C run variable (e.g. ``cdef int i``).
.. note:: see :ref:`automatic-range-conversion`
`[expr(x) for x in A]` is now available, implementing the full specification
at http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0202/ . Looping is optimized if ``A`` is
a list. Also, use the :keyword:`for` ... :keyword:`from` syntax too, e.g.::
Note that Cython also supports set literals starting from Python 2.3.
[i*i for i from 0 <= i < 10]
Conditional expressions "x if b else y" (python 2.5)
