Suppose you have an expensive calculation that gets used two or more times in a
loop. The obvious way to avoid calculating it twice in an ordinary loop is with
a temporary variable:

result = []
for x in data:
     tmp = expensive_calculation(x)
     result.append((tmp, tmp+1))


But what if you are using a list comprehension? Alas, list comps don't let you
have temporary variables, so you have to write this:


[(expensive_calculation(x), expensive_calculation(x) + 1) for x in data]


Or do you? ... no, you don't!


[(tmp, tmp + 1) for x in data for tmp in [expensive_calculation(x)]]


I can't decide whether that's an awesome trick or a horrible hack...
It is a poor man's 'let'. It would be nice if python had a real 'let'
construction. Or for example:

[(tmp, tmp + 1) for x in data with tmp = expensive_calculation(x)]

Alas!

With two passes

e = [expensive_calculation(x) for x in data]
final = [(x, y+1) for x, y in zip(e, e)]
