Unpacking tuples in a python list comprehension (cannot use the *-operator)

Question

I am trying to create a list based on another list, with the same values repeated 3 times consecutively.

At the moment, I am using:

>>> my_l         


        

Answer 1

You can't use * iterable unpacking in a list comprehension, that syntax is only available in calls, and in Python 3, when using assignments.

If you want to use a list comprehension, just put your for loops in series; you do want to access the values from my_list directly rather than generate indices though:

[v for v in my_list for _ in range(3)]
