New submission from Martin Häcker <spamfaen...@gmx.de>:

[].sort() returns None which means you can't chain it.

So for example someDict.keys().sort()[0] doesn't work but you have to use 
sorted(someDict.keys())[0] instead which is harder to read as you have to read 
the line not from the beginning to the end but jump back and forth in it to 
understand it (which gets progressively harder as the individual parts of it 
get longer / more complex).
