Sure, I was referring to your suggestion of adding features to see how they pan out and then removing them, not any particular feature. >>list comprehensions are only worth it if you add tuples imho.< > > Nope. Lazy/eager sequence comprehensions can be useful in many situations > even if you don't have tuples. list comprehensions don't do anything useful over map & friends but make them look better. They are super handsome in python in combination with tuples. So my point was, if you go for list comprehensions as a sweetener, you really should have some tuples with them too.
