can this be done in list/set/dict comprehensions/generator
expressions ?

it is in fact precisely to avoid this sort of line:
for n in (x for x in y if x%3==0):
and have instead the (more readable IMO) line
for n in y if n%3==0:
with:
- 1 "for ... in ..." instead of 2 (where one is the repetition of the
other)
- no parentheses
- no extra technical variable with local binding to the expression
generator ('x')
it looks more pythonic to me but it is a personal taste.
