How do I interpret the fancy loop in Python 2.7?

Question

How does this line look like a regular 'for' loop?

inputList = [int(a) for a in inputList]

What are the advantages of writing a 'for' loop this way as opposed to being more vanilla?

I did something like this and it worked:

      enteredList = []
      for a in inputList:
          enteredList.append(int(a))

new_list = []
for a in inputList:
    new_list.append(int(a))
inputList = new_list

Perhaps something like this.
