Your example rather than your problem specification suggests that you want
them all. If I'm guessing right:

def flatten(lol):
    for lst in lol:
        for item in lst:
            yield item

T=[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5], [6]]

for item in flatten(T):
   print item

Indices seem to be a dying breed :-)
