Generalisation is always[tm] a bad idea. Taken to illogical extremes, at the other end of the spectrum we have the monstrocities of old Perl. After all, with Perl it was often said that you could fit most solutions to a oneliner.

In fact, I would go as far as to claim that using Python for n-tuple iterators inside branched comprehensions are getting awfully close to the worst aspects of what Perl scripts were commonly criticised for.
