    So do I, most often, but this construct is common, I think because it makes
    clear what the for loop is iterating over, also it comes naturally once used
    to the more elaborated

    for i in (expr(e) for e in iterable if predicate(e)) :

    This one is truly a gain for readability IMO, compared to :

    for i in iterable:
    i = expr(i)
    if predicate(i):

    In the latter, the reader need more effort to figure out what finally "i" is
    in the loop.

    and at the cost of an extra indentation level.
