highest palindrome with 3 digit numbers in python

Question

In problem 4 from http://projecteuler.net/ it says:

A palindromic number reads the same both ways. The largest palindrome made from the product of two 2-d

Answer 1

Not the most efficient answer but I do like that it's compact enough to fit on one line.

print max(i*j for i in xrange(1,1000) for j in xrange(1,1000) if str(i*j) == str(i*j)[::-1])
