Advanced List Comprehension: how can I fit multiple for loops in one list comprehension?

Question

I have been trying to fit the following list of words from a text file into one list comprehension:

file = open("Lincoln.txt", "r").read().split()

world_list = []                                            

for v in file:
    word_list.append(v.translate(str.maketrans("", "",string.punctuation)).lower())
    for i in word_list:
         if i != '':
            world_list.append(i)

This is succesful, but I'm not sure how to include the second part of the for loop in that same list comprehension:

word_list = [v.translate(str.maketrans("", "",string.punctuation)).lower() for i,v in enumerate(word_list)]

Without the second part, I still get empty strings from my word extraction:

[i for i in (v.translate(str.maketrans("", "",string.punctuation)).lower() for v in word_list) if i != '']

Edited the answer. A little in the blind spot here. Give it a try. – andreis11 Apr 01 '20 at 21:35
