  Since I came in only after list comprehension was introduced, I preferred 
it from the very beginning (over map/lambda) and here's how I read a list 
comprehension.

 [ x.func() for x in SomeList ]

 Return a list filled with x.func()'s for every element x in SomeList

 That very closely resembles the python statement (at least I think so) :)!!

   Well, but I guess it's more about how one is introduced to the construct. 
Anyways, I just wanted to say (at least for me) list comprehensions are 
readable and *very* pythonic.

:)

Peace
Steve
