Back in the day Python had map, filter, and reduce.
Then comprehensions were added, which are another way to express map and filter in one go.
I really like comprehensions.
But since then, there has been an informal movement, if you can call it

Citation needed? What informal movement has there been, and where?
maybe even "informal" movement was too strong. It's a trend I've observed. At least on this list and others I follow -- maybe not in the broader community. One example was a proposal a while back on this list for a "groupby" in itertools (it kind of withered on the vine, like many good ideas here), I suggested that it be made comprehension friendly, and some others including the OP) didn't see the point. Maybe that's not representative, but it's a trend I've noticed. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, PhD (Chris) Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
