Readability of the code is always relative to the reader. In any language that I've mastered, I've always preferred more verbose options at first, but with experience I found out that I find condensed versions to be more elegant and time-saving.

In the end, choose code style that matches level of your audience. If you write a one-off python script that automizes some build process in mostly non-python codebase, it should probably be very verbose and easy to understand. If, on the other hand, you're writing code in a decently advanced codebase and most of your colleagues are fluent in the language (or at least, supposed to be), it makes sense to use as much condensed syntax sugar as possible.
