Suppress automatic display of a list

[Hezel2000]

Summary

For a plot I use the following code line

Steps to reproduce

Code snippet:

[ax.axhline(y=i, xmin=.1, xmax=1, linestyle='--') for i in dates]

Then the lines appear in the plot as they should – but also the list is displayed, which I of course do not want.

Hey, can you share the exact output for the same?

[Hezel2000]

Well, this list ist displayed, as well as the plot. But only the plot should be displayed.

but also the list is displayed

This is a list comprehension which of course returns a list.
Possible one-line solutions:

for i in dates: ax.axhline(y=i, xmin=.1, xmax=1, linestyle='--')

or

_ = [ax.axhline(y=i, xmin=.1, xmax=1, linestyle='--') for i in dates]

Simple enough – thanks. I wasn’t aware I could assign this list to a random variable to not be displayed.
