It is really very simple, I don't think you will need a tutorial.

A list comprehension is just a short form of an often re-occuring piece 
of code.

# Common data
start_list = [-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5]

# the usual way to do it
result_list = []
for item in start_list:
     if item > 0:
         result_list.append(item)

# list comprehension
result_list = [item for item in start_list if item > 0]
