I find the utility of list comprehensions is maximized when I'm in a Python shell and dealing with indentation when writing a loop can become obnoxious to edit.

I find the utility of list comprehensions is maximized when I'm in a Python shell and dealing with indentation when writing a loop can become obnoxious to edit. I tend to have a Python shell tab open in my terminal throughout the day, and it's nice to bang out a quick loop in a one-liner. When writing actual code, I tend to stick with regular for loops.
