I am an experienced programmer but a beginner to python. As such, I can figure out a way

I am doing something now that I am sure is a more python way but i can't quite
get it right. I was hoping someone might help.
So I have a list of grid coordinates (x, y). From that list, I want to create
a new list that for each coordinate, I add the coordinate just above and just
below (x,y+1) and (x,y-1)
right now I am using a for loop to go through all the coordinates and then
separate append statements to add the top and bottom.
is there a way to do something like: [(x,y-1), (x,y+1) for zzz in coord_list]
or something along those lines?
If you have lot's of numerical data you can use the NumPy module
(http://numpy.scipy.org/), your problem would reduce to something like
this (copied from an IPython shell, could be shorter)
