Is it Pythonic to use list comprehensions for just side effects?

Question

Think about a function that I\'m calling for its side effects, not return values (like printing to screen, updating GUI, printing to a file, etc.).

def fun_wi         


        

Answer 1

It is very anti-Pythonic to do so, and any seasoned Pythonista will give you hell over it. The intermediate list is thrown away after it is created, and it could potentially be very, very large, and therefore expensive to create.
