Once a learner gets to the point they can handle comprehensions, I think they give a better perspective on how to work with the language and not against it.
People who care too much about minimizing the number of lines they write in general practice can go soak their head for all I care. It often makes for unreadable code.
@Jack, they work in Python 2 also: https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/datastructures.html#list-comprehensions
Yeah, I don't want to really get into it, but having someone who's obviously learning the language for the first time talk about "how many more lines Python takes to do things than other lower level languages" is pretty silly.
I can see your point. For me, learning about comprehensions was really the tipping point where I started to like Python. You can get a lot of work done without spending a lot of time writing.

Basic data management at first, which was okay. It's what's pythons built for. But I ended up having to force build a game engine with it, which really wasn't fun. The libraries are there, but past a certain point, you're basically fighting with it to get it to do anything.
I don't know. 100-200 lines of code, for something I can write in c++ or c# in just 10-20, I can do it, but it isn't really fun. Fair enough. Games engines definitely fall in the category of things I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole in Python. When runtime is critical, it's probably good to reach for something lower level.
Also, I really, truly, genuinely hate to be that guy, but you might want to look into list comprehensions. You could probably rewrite your spritestrip program into ~15 lines of code if you used them instead of hard-coding all those crops, renames, and loops.

List comprehensions are a Python 2 feature too:
You also might wanna take a look at string formatting and the * operator for unpacking lists in a function call.
