It's more compact, especially, if "d" isn't a one-character variable,

vs.

I have to say I don't think that's more compact at all. It's too wide
to be compact.
But 83 characters is still more compact than 121 characters.
Only if your sole metric is a strict character count. Width matters in
perception; two shorter lines are easier to take in than one long line,
even if the long line contains fewer characters.
Besides, terseness isn't one of Python's objectives.
