Whenever you see this pattern to create a list of items:

(values) = []
for (value) in (collection):
    (values).append((expression))

You can replace it with a list comprehension, which takes the form of:

(values) = [ (expression) for (value) in (collection)]

This:

t = []
for i in range(10):
    t.append(i * i)

Can be replaced with:

t = [(i * i) for i in range(10)]

Notice how the variable used to iterate over the collection is made available for calculating the expression which will be added to our resulting list.

squares = [x * x for x in [0, -1, -2, 3, 4]]

print(squares)

# outputs:

[0, 1, 4, 9, 16]

We can of course, add an if expression to the list comprehension, to filter the collection:

even = [x for x in range(10) if x % 2 == 0]
odd =  [x for x in range(10) if x % 2 != 0] 

print(even)
print(odd)

# outputs:

[0, 2, 4, 6, 8]
[1, 3, 5, 7, 9]

We can also enumerate our collection to make use of the index in our if condition, and/or expression:

even = [x * i for i, x in enumerate(range(10)) if (i > 4) and (x % 2 == 0)]
odd  = [x * i for i, x in enumerate(range(10)) if (i > 4) and (x % 2 != 0)]

print(even)
print(odd)

# outputs:

[36, 64]
[25, 49, 81]

Finally, here is an example where I ignore the value and generate a random number three times:

from random import randint

def roll_die():
    return [randint(1, 6) for i in range(3)]

# generate footballer attributes

strength = sum(roll_die())
stamina = sum(roll_die())
morale = sum(roll_die())

print(f'str: {strength}')
print(f'sta: {stamina}')
print(f'mor: {morale}')

# outputs: 

str: 8
sta: 15
mor: 13
