Not just PEP8-compliant. Some of these are just plain bad.

The first one I was greeted with when I opened the site was:

> print eval('+'.join(map(str, [1, 1])))

If I ever saw this in production code, I would lose my mind.

It's the kind of one-liner I'd expect to find in an obfuscated code competition. It's not intuitively understood, shows a lack of basic Python functionality (the builtin sum() function), and most of all, it's SLOW. As in, 54 times slower than a simple sum -- tested on xrange(1,10) -- on my development Macbook Pro.

That said, clicking through some other examples, there are a lot of great Python examples on this site. Just beware of some of them, and always make sure you test new code yourself.

Slowness is not the worst, eval is evil, and should be forbidden, that's all.

I'm pretty sure that one-liner is a joke...
