Really? Why do you say that a generator expression is "better" than a
list comprehension?
>>> import timeit
>>> timeit.Timer("', '.join([str(i) for i in [1,2,3]])", "").repeat()
[5.0969390869140625, 4.5353701114654541, 4.5807528495788574]
>>> timeit.Timer("', '.join(str(i) for i in [1,2,3])", "").repeat()
[11.651727914810181, 10.635221004486084, 10.522483110427856]
The generator expression takes about twice as long to run, and in my
opinion it is no more readable. So what's the advantage?

>>> timeit.Timer("', '.join(imap(str, [1,2,3]))",
... "from itertools import imap").repeat()

Faster than a generator expression, but still pretty slow.
