What I like so much about it is the .. if .. else .. Within the parenthesis
and the append() call outside these parenthesis.

I agree it would be best written as a for loop, to increase readability and
avoid confusion. I always expect list comprehensions to be used as
expressions, and its use as a (single-expression) statement is rather odd.
