Why is number 1 better than just:

    [x*2 for x in range(1, 11)]

I find it weird that the author writes about one-liners in python without knowing about list comprehensions

It isn't.

10 Python one-liners to piss off your colleagues by ignoring the Zen.

Seriously though, some of these are ridiculously unreadable so think twice before using any for anything more than theory.

I felt the same about number 3.

  [x in tweet.split() for x in wordlist]

Seems better to me than

  map(lambda x: x in tweet.split(),wordlist)

Although the natural thing for me to do would be

  [x for x in wordlist if x in tweet]

Which both generates a list of words instead of booleans(['scala', 'sbt'] instead of [True, False, False, False, False]) and also matches the 'sbt' in tweet.

These seem ridiculously mundane.

sigh ... when will people learn ... one-liners are not good. Especially when they lead to bugs. For example #4 in the list. If you that didn't jump out to you as a bug. You are a fucking idiot and shouldn't be writing production code.

Yet the most useful oneliner is missing:

    python -m SimpleHTTPServer
