The first one I was greeted with when I opened the site was:
> print eval('+'.join(map(str, [1, 1])))
If I ever saw this in production code, I would lose my mind.
It's the kind of one-liner I'd expect to find in an obfuscated code competition. It's not intuitively understood, shows a lack of basic Python functionality (the builtin sum() function), and most of all, it's SLOW. As in, 54 times slower than a simple sum -- tested on xrange(1,10) -- on my development Macbook Pro.
That said, clicking through some other examples, there are a lot of great Python examples on this site. Just beware of some of them, and always make sure you test new code yourself.
You could show the output of this to the submitter (somewhat bad -- barrier to submission) or flag them yourself so you can correct them occasionally.
Examples:
$ pep8 optparse.py
optparse.py:69:11: E401 multiple imports on one line
optparse.py:77:1: E302 expected 2 blank lines, found 1
optparse.py:88:5: E301 expected 1 blank line, found 0
$ pep8 --show-source --show-pep8 testsuite/E111.py
testsuite/E111.py:2:3: E111 indentation is not a multiple of four
print x
^
Use 4 spaces per indentation level.
For really old code that you don't want to mess up, you can
continue to use 8-space tabs.
