If they leave out the square brackets, the code might be slower. I know that ''.join() is about 30% faster with a list comprehension than a generator expression, but I'm not sure about sum(). -- Steve “Cheer up,” they said, “things could be worse.” So I cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
