that's spelled
out = []
for i in items:
... do something ...
if i > 0.5:
out.append(i)
in Python, and is only a little slower than a list comprehension, as
written above. if performance is really important, move the method
lookup out of the loop:
out = []
append = out.append
for i in items:
... do something ...
if i > 0.5:
append(i)
