I'd already written then when Benjamin posted his answer, but rather
than waste having written it I'm going to post it anyway :)
You must remember that the purpose of a generator is to evaluate lazily.
Your expression involving the generator would unwrap this way:
def g1():
for y in 'c':
yield x+y
l = []
for x in 'ab':
l.append(g1())
print l
print map(list, l)
If you run this you will note that 'l' is a pair of generator instances.
These are not run until the 'map' is executed. By that point the for
loop has completed, and x has its final value, 'b'. g1 is evaluated
twice, and both times x is 'b', so you get ['bc', 'bc']
