You are absolutely correct. I missed that when I tried it.
Instead of the nested list comprehension, I might have used
map instead.

>>> y = [('insertme', i) for i in x]
>>> z = []
>>> _ = map( z.extend, y )
>>> z
['insertme', 0, 'insertme', 1, 'insertme', 2, 'insertme', 3, 'insertme', 4]

I am not sure which is more Pythonic, but to me map + list.extend tells
me more explicitly that I am dealing with an iterable of iterables.
It might make more sense to only to me though.
