Steve - Thanks for the response. I'm somewhat familiar with generator/list comprehension but was unsure how multiple statements were evaluated when chained together. From your explanation, I'm assuming they are evaluated from the "inside out" rather than left to right or right to left. Does the mean that the comprehension on the inside is always evaluated first?
