Invent your own comprehensions in Python

SMRTR summary

Python lacks tuple and frozenset comprehensions, but generator expressions can simulate custom comprehensions for any iterable-accepting callable. By passing generator expressions to constructors like tuple() or frozenset(), or reducer functions like sum() and any(), developers can create comprehension-like syntax for collections and operations not natively supported by Python's comprehension syntax.
