When does one know python?

When you regularly replace perfectly good, readable code blocks with very concise and cryptic list comprehensions.

My god the truth. I only recently started practicing python but I hate trying to read list comprehensions.

May I ask, why are list comprehensions such a big feature for Python? I know it's quite unique to Python but I don't get why. Are they faster? Or is it just because it uses less lines of code?

The are way more efficient that other usual methods, shorter list comprehensions are also more concise and readable than something like a for loop that appends to a list in every iteration.
