List comprehensions are just dandy, aren't they?

No doubt you've heard about premature optimization is the root of all evil?
Why are you worried about efficiency?  What size list are you talking about?
What other relevant facts are you not sharing with us?  <wink>

I would recommend you focus more on solving your problem and THEN, if it's
too slow, use a profiler to locate bottlenecks.
