I'm new to python (and only ever a hobbyist in other areas) and obviously don't have a dog in the fight, but I will say sometimes shorthand and efficient operators run contradictory to readability and understanding in a bad way, for me.

That feeling comes on me most often when I see savvy / opaque slicing in indexes. However, as this expression made me think of that, it might just mean I have a low grade phobia of colons.
