Emulating a pass in a ternary operator?

Question

I'm creating a list comprehension where I grab a list of keys from a dictionary, ignoring certain specified ones.

[x if x not in ignoreKeys else None for x in entity]

I'm currently using else None as my way of not appending the ignored keys, but ideally I would get the list comprehension to pass over that iteration. Unfortunately pass gives a syntax error, so I'm wondering if there might be some way I can emulate the pass functionality?

You don't need else at all, just use if :

[x for x in entity if x not in ignoreKeys]

This will return the values that are not in ignoreKeys.

Aha! I had only tried this with if on the other side. Works perfectly! – SuperBiasedMan May 08 '15 at 10:24
