for hextuple in [(i, j, k, l, m, n)
for i in range(1, lim + 1) \
for j in range (1, lim + 2) \
for k in range (1, lim + 3) \
for l in range (1, lim + 4) \
for m in range (1, lim + 5) \
for n in range (1, lim + 6)]:
print hextuple
I don't think the list comprehension helps, in this case--although
it hints at the temptation of an eval-able expression which is
briefer. More on that, later.
