I'm quite new to python, and I found LC quite simple to understand
and powerful. The only "suprising" part for me was that the looping
variable is not local... I slipped on that a couple of times.
A list comphrension is very "local" in my mind ... I would say that
[x*x for x in xrange(10)] is just a list of perfect squares, but
instead it's not... it's that AND the assignment to x of the value 9.
