sortof: how about

for goodx in [x for x in my_list if x.startswith('QA')]: print goodx

I don't think there are really any problems with just using the side-effects
of a list comprehension, it's just that the casual observer of the code will
have to look a bit better before noticing that it _is_ about the
side-effects: 'for x in my_list: print x' is very clear in exactly what it
performs.

Cheerio, Marc.
