[1,2,3] though the later example is more confusing.

I don't think we need this since we have itertools.takewhile:

  from operator import gt
  from functools import partial
  from itertools import takewhile

  [x + 1 for x in takewhile(partial(gt,5), (0,1,2,999,3,4))]

In the eye of the beholder maybe, but I think it's less ugly in Haskell:

  [x + 1 | x <- takeWhile (< 5) [0,1,2,999,3,4]]
