And yet, in the production Python codebases I've worked with, list comprehensions are rarely seen. Usually it's typical loop iterations. I wonder why that is?...

This says much more about you and the developers and codebases you work with than anything to do with Python list comprehensions.

Coming from a point of zero knowledge of the codebase, I picked Flask. I picked the cli.py module in Flask. And what do I find?

The keyword "for" occurs twice as often in comprehensions and generator expressions as it does in "typical loop iterations!"
