I'm all for descriptive names, but there's a great deal of benefit to
knowing when a descriptive name will help, and when all you need is a
variable which will be quickly recognized.
Compare:
[theValueInTheList.func() forTheValueInTheList in theList]
[x.func() for x in list]
One of these is much, much, easier to read than the other. It's
not the one that used a "descriptive" name.

You did not use descriptive names in your example, but verbose names.
That makes a huge difference.
[ str(day) for day in week ]
[ str(x) for x in _list]
[ str(d) for d in w ]
I let you decide which one is better. After that I'm running out of
arguments :o)
Note that I did not suggest to write
[ aDayInAWeek.displaymeCauseImAwesome() for aDayInAWeek in
weekContainingSomeDaysHopefully ]
Cheers,
JM
