The full syntax is:
[ f(x) for x in seq if pred(x) ]
being allowed to write 'x' instead of 'identity(x)' is already a
shortcut, just as dropping the conditional part.
That's not the full syntax. The full syntax is
[ <test> for <exprlist> in <testlist> <list-iter-opt> ]
where
<test> can be an arbitrary expression: and, or, lambda, +, -, ...
<exprlist> can be a list of expression, except for boolean and
relational expressions (but I think this is further constrained
semantically)
<testlist> list a list of tests
<list-iter-opt> is optional, and can be another for or if block
So a more complex example is
[ lambda a: a[x]+y*z for x,y in A for z in B if x > z]
(Not that this does what you think it does :-)
So that you can write f(x) is just a tiny special case.
