unnecessary-list-call (C411)

Derived from the flake8-comprehensions linter.

Fix is always available.

What it does

Checks for unnecessary list() calls around list comprehensions.

Why is this bad?

It is redundant to use a list() call around a list comprehension.

Examples

list([f(x) for x in foo])

Use instead

[f(x) for x in foo]

Fix safety

This rule's fix is marked as unsafe, as it may occasionally drop comments when rewriting the call. In most cases, though, comments will be preserved.
