I would certainly prefer
>>> a + b
array([[ 6, 8],
[10, 12]])
over the incomprehensible comprehension. But if it is the only usecase for
numpy in your script and you are OK with its current performance, just put
your listcomp into an aptly named function. Then you can write the easily
understandable
c = matrix_add(a, b)
and avoid the numpy dependency.
