Me too and I still don't like the syntax. its the [x for x in... bit at the start that reads badly for me, I'd have preferred if there was a seperator of some sort: [x | for x in ... or something. The problem is most punctuation is already used for something that is valid in an expression. The only thing that I think is OK is an exclamation mark but that, although somewhat similar to a | looks like a factorial operarion. But once you get used to it they are concise if not quite as descriptive as their functional.equivalents map/filter.
