I have some a list comprehension in Python in which each iteration can throw an exception. 

**For instance**, if I have:

```
eggs = (1,3,0,3,2)

[1/egg for egg in eggs]

```

I'll get a `ZeroDivisionError` exception in the 3rd element.

How can I handle this exception and continue execution of the list comprehension?

The only way I can think of is to use a helper function:

```
def spam(egg):
    try:
        return 1/egg
    except ZeroDivisionError:
        # handle division by zero error
        # leave empty for now
        pass

```

But this looks a bit cumbersome to me.

Is there a better way to do this in Python?

**Note:** This is a simple example (see "*for instance*" above) that I contrived because my real example requires some context. I'm not interested in avoiding divide by zero errors but in handling exceptions in a list comprehension.
