Personally, I'd only like to see generator expressions added to Python if they can allow list comprehensions to be deprecated -- to avoid language clutter.
That's possible in the sense that a list comprehension can be written as list(generator_expression). But it will still be necessary to decide whether to wrap a list() around it.
