  It seems it's not allowed in a list comprehension without 
  additional parentheses.

d = 1

l = []
for i in range( 3 )if d else range( 5 ):
   l.append( i )
print( l )

print( [ i for i in( range( 3 )if d else range( 5 ))] )

  . To me, your,

for variable in angles if options.angle else comps:

  , is fine, but I think what would be a bit clearer might be,

variables = angles if options.angle else comps
for variable in variables: 

  .
