unnecessary-comprehension (C416)

Derived from the flake8-comprehensions linter.

Autofix is always available.

What it does

Checks for unnecessary dict, list, and set comprehension.

Why is this bad?

It's unnecessary to use a dict/list/set comprehension to build a data structure if the elements are unchanged. Wrap the iterable with dict(), list(), or set() instead.

Examples

{a: b for a, b in iterable}
[x for x in iterable]
{x for x in iterable}

Use instead:

dict(iterable)
list(iterable)
set(iterable)
