title: How do I break down a list comprehension line in Python?
body: <p>If the original code is</p>
  <pre><code>variable = [line.rstrip().lstrip() for line in fin]
  </code></pre>
  <p>Hypothetically, if I want to break out the list comprehension, would it be the following?</p>
  <pre><code>variable = [] # (Do I need to create an empty [] here?)
  
  for line in fin:
      variable = line.rstrip().lstrip()
  </code></pre>
  <p>Thank you for your help!</p>
