I disagree. For a beginner, you want to be able to break things down
into individual steps and examine the result at each point. If you do:
l= [6,2,9,12,1,4]
l2 = sorted(l,reverse=True)
you have the advantage that you can stop after creating l2 and print it
out. The student can see that it has indeed been sorted.
Or one can put the multiple steps in a file and step through with a
debugger that shows local name values, like the Idle debugger.
