No, that's standard.  It's not Pythonic to have comprehensions that
large, as it obscures rather than enlightens, particularly some of
those crazier nested ones that Dave is using.  If your comprehension
doesn't fit in 80chars, you're probably doing something wrong, and
should break it down to a real for loop.
