[issue20402] List comprehensions should be noted in for loop documentation

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

We do have prominent entries in the glossary and tutorial:

https://docs.python.org/2.7/glossary.html#term-list-comprehension
https://docs.python.org/2.7/tutorial/datastructures.html#list-comprehensions

Moving it earlier in the tutorial is likely to do more harm than help.  In teaching Python, you need some gap between learning for-loops and learning list comprehensions (the former is a prerequisite for the latter).
