Since 1+3 is not really (only if you use rally bad approximations) 3 
(neither 2+4 is 7!), i'd rather prefer using zip:
 >>> x = (1,2)
 >>> y = (3,4)
 >>> [k+p for k,p in (x,y)] # wrong one
[3, 7]
 >>> [k+p for k,p in zip(x,y)] # zip-version
[4, 6]

What your's is doing is unpacking the contents of x first to k and p and 
adding them to each other and afterwards doing the same with y's contents.
