Python’s list comprehensions are elegant and fast, but it’s easy to go overboard. A single-level comprehension is usually much clearer than a standard loop, but once you start nesting them or adding complex conditional logic, readability plummets. If you find yourself writing a 'one-liner' that needs to be broken across multiple lines just to be understood, it's usually better to refactor it back into a standard for-loop. Prioritize the human reader over the clever syntax.
