Why can't I append to list inside of a list comprehension? (lemmy.world)

I'm new to programming a bit, and am learning python so I can learn flask, using the python crash course book. I was learning about list comprehension but it briefly talks about it. If I do

list[list.append(value) for value in range(1, 20)]

it doesn't work. Would this be some sort of recursive expression that is not possible?

Great explanation! I don't know too much C, just a bit here and there, and my dad's copy of K&R C he gave to me.
