List comprehension: Returning two (or more) items for each item

Question

Is it possible to return 2 (or more) items for each item in a list comprehension?

What I want (example):

[f(x), g(x) for x in range(n)]

should return [f(0), g(0), f(1), g(1), ..., f(n-1), g(n-1)]

So, something to replace this block of code:

result = list()
for x in range(n):
    result.add(f(x))
    result.add(g(x))

Answer 1

>>> from itertools import chain
>>> f = lambda x: x + 2
>>> g = lambda x: x ** 2
>>> list(chain.from_iterable((f(x), g(x)) for x in range(3)))
[2, 0, 3, 1, 4, 4]

Timings:

from timeit import timeit

f = lambda x: x + 2
g = lambda x: x ** 2

def fg(x):
    yield f(x)
    yield g(x)

print timeit(stmt='list(chain.from_iterable((f(x), g(x)) for x in range(3)))',
             setup='gc.enable(); from itertools import chain; f = lambda x: x + 2; g = lambda x: x ** 2')

print timeit(stmt='list(chain.from_iterable(fg(x) for x in range(3)))',
             setup='gc.enable(); from itertools import chain; from __main__ import fg; f = lambda x: x + 2; g = lambda x: x ** 2')

print timeit(stmt='[func(x) for x in range(3) for func in (f, g)]',
             setup='gc.enable(); f = lambda x: x + 2; g = lambda x: x ** 2')


print timeit(stmt='list(chain.from_iterable((f(x), g(x)) for x in xrange(10**6)))',
             setup='gc.enable(); from itertools import chain; f = lambda x: x + 2; g = lambda x: x ** 2',
             number=20)

print timeit(stmt='list(chain.from_iterable(fg(x) for x in xrange(10**6)))',
             setup='gc.enable(); from itertools import chain; from __main__ import fg; f = lambda x: x + 2; g = lambda x: x ** 2',
             number=20)

print timeit(stmt='[func(x) for x in xrange(10**6) for func in (f, g)]',
             setup='gc.enable(); f = lambda x: x + 2; g = lambda x: x ** 2',
             number=20)
