I don't want to be a jedi Python programmer and exploit every neat trick of the language. I want to be a very good programmer and write code that's easy for others to read, debug, and maintain.

I wouldn't call list comprehensions a Jedi feature of Python -- they are pretty darn idiomatic and common.

Comprehensions are not a neat trick. If you know and use Python, writing comprehensions is writing good code that can be understood by others.
