Is there an easy way to get a list comprehension to produce a flat list of, say, [x,2*x] for each input argument?

E.g., I'd like to do something like:

[ [x,2*x] for x in range(4) ]

...and receive

[ 0,0,1,2,2,4,3,6]

...but of course you really get a list of lists:

[[0, 0], [1, 2], [2, 4], [3, 6]]

I'm aware I can use any of the standard "flatten" bits of code to turn this back into what I want, but I was hoping there's some way to avoid the "lists of lists" generation in the first place?

A slightly similar problem: If I want to "merge," say, list1=[1,2,3] with list2=[4,5,6] to obtain [1,4,2,5,3,6], is there some clever way with "zip" to do so?

Thanks,

For the first part:

def gen(n):
    for i in xrange(n):
        yield i
        yield 2*i

print list(gen(4))

[0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 4, 3, 6]
