Are list comprehensions syntactic sugar for `list(generator expression)` in Python 3?

They aren't the same, list() will evaluate what ever is given to it after what is in the parentheses has finished executing, not before.

The [] in python is a bit magical, it tells python to wrap what ever is inside it as a list, more like a type hint for the language.
