Handle Exceptions Inside List Comprehension

Hi All,

I am wondering if there is any way to handle exceptions inside list
comprehension. For example,

[f(x) for x in xs]

I want to skip the point if f(x) raises an exception. How can I do
that without totally removing the list comprehension?

Thanks,
Geoffrey

def ff(xs):
for x in xs:
try: yield f(x)
except: pass

[x for x in ff(xs)] or alternatively

list(ff(xs))

Hi. I've made a program that logs onto a telnet server, enters a command, and then creates a list of useful information out of the information that is dumped to the screen as a result of the command. Here's a generic version of the code in question: ##### # Prior code opens telnet connection "tn" and logs in. tn.read_until('> ') tn.write('THE COMMAND IS HERE\n')

Sorry for a simple question- but I don't understand how to parse this use of a list comprehension. The "or" clauses are odd to me. It also seems like it is being overly clever (?) in using a lc expression as a for loop to drive the recursion. Thanks for any insight! Gregory

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
