One thing to maybe mention Chris, is that while list comprehensions take
up less lines, the quick readability may diminish. If you have lots of
them lined up next to each other or used consecutively it can be very
hard to read the code. Especially if it isn't your own.
It's a balance of use and readability.

Yes, I agree. Well, in this case, you are dependent on the name. Or
you cause a bug. :)
Also I couldn't resist writing this as list comprehensions. Doing it
this way stores your locators as a list of objects that you can
reference even after your range(10) is complete.
locators = [pm.spaceLocator(n='test#') for x in range(10)]
groups = [pm.group(loc, n='group#') for loc in locators]
By the way, zfill() is a nice way to give number padding when making a
numbered naming convention. This would make test_000, test_001,
test_002, etc. ...But this will still cause a nodeError if you don't
have unique names:
locators = [pm.spaceLocator(n='test_{0}'.format(str(x).zfill(3))) for
x in range(10)]
groups = [pm.group(loc, n='group#') for loc in locators]
