• Powerful Python One-Liners

Powerful Python One-Liners

* Grab a document from the `net:

• from urllib import urlopen;doc = urlopen("http://www.python.org").read();print doc

I don't like the idea of python "one-liners". For instance, in the above example, there are actually 3 statments there:

   1 from urllib import urlopen
   2 
   3 doc = urlopen("http://www.python.org").read()
   4 print doc

My opinion is that this form is far more readable and clear. I propose that, rather than go for one-liners, rather go for "powerful code snippets", where we don't try to squeeze stuff into one-line just for its own sake. Thoughts on this, anyone?
