hello, i've recently been working on some code where i am processing a 
list, but excluding certain items. the solution is to use a list 
comprehension in the for statement, which for example looks like:
 for m in [n for n in range( 0 , 5 ) if n != 2]
determining what's going on here isn't immediately obvious (i.e. what's 
this new variable n doing?). it would be nice to have a more 
streamlined syntax such as:
 for m in range( 0 , 5 ) with m != 2
which is much cleaner and obvious. the statements following "with" 
could be any conditional expression.
this is just a wishlist item, and i understand that it wouldn't have 
much priority in the grand scheme of things. thank you for your 
consideration.

You should bring this up on the python-ideas mailing list. I'm closing
this unless it gets support on that list or python-dev.
