How can I get around declaring an unused variable in a for loop?

Question

If I have a list comprehension (for example) like this:

[\'\' for x in myList]

Effectively making a new list that has an empty string for e

Answer 1

The generator objects don't actually use the variables. So something like

list(('' for x in myList))

should do the trick. Note that x is not defined as a variable outside of the generator comprehension.
