list iteration if statement

[alex goretoy]

Thank you Steve and MRAB,

This is what I was looking for:

 [[v.append(j) for j in i if j != 0] for i in self.value]

the value is actually stored as a string so I would need to check if it is
"0". I do have one more question about list comprehension though. After
doing this I get an unwanted list of None how do I make it disappear or not
return this list. Would I have to be modifying it in place for this to
happen? Wouldn't modifying it in place potentially overwrite some other
values? I just don't want it to return [[None], [None, None], [None, None],
[None]]

You guys rock, thanks for helping me learn python.
