No dice. It's uglier IMO and slower IPO:

$ python2.4 -mtimeit -s 'd = {(100,500):[5,5], (100,501):[6,6],
(100,502):[7,7]}; x = dict(d)' 'for key in d: x[key] = [y*2 for y in
d[key]]'
100000 loops, best of 3: 3.84 usec per loop

$ python2.4 -mtimeit -s 'd = {(100,500):[5,5], (100,501):[6,6],
(100,502):[7,7]}; x = dict(d)' 'x.update([[key,[y*2 for y in item]] for
key,item in d.items()])'
100000 loops, best of 3: 6.62 usec per loop

$ python2.4 -mtimeit -s 'd = {(100,500):[5,5], (100,501):[6,6],
(100,502):[7,7]}; x = dict(d)' 'x.update([key,[y*2 for y in item]] for
key,item in d.items())'
100000 loops, best of 3: 7.42 usec per loop

$ python2.4 -mtimeit -s 'd = {(100,500):[5,5], (100,501):[6,6],
(100,502):[7,7]}; x = dict(d)' 'x.update([key,[y*2 for y in item]] for
key,item in d.iteritems())'
100000 loops, best of 3: 7.48 usec per loop


PS.:  IPO == In Python's Opinion
