When reading code I find comprehensions easier to comprehend than combinations of map, filter and reduce. That is considering that I played around with some Common-Lisp before getting into Python. The parts in the comprehension [*wanted* *iteration(s?)* *condition?*] compares well to *iterations(s?)* *condition?* *append wanted* for normal looping behaviour without changing order of the iterations. One of my favourite comprehensions is of the sort [item for item in items in for i in (0, 1)] of course this can be the same as list(items) * 2 but the comprehension is more versatile [item for item in items in for i in (0, 1) if items[0] != 'a'] For most once the mental fog clears comprehensions become natural very quickly as they are not that far removed from normal loops.
