Yes, awesome. Thanks.

But it breaks all the picture that I've built in my head about comps till
now...

As I know from books and googling, the comps main idea looks approximately
like this:

[target <--main loop<--nested loop/s (and maybe some conditions)]    Am I
right? 

But your code looks somehow inverted to me o_0

Like: 

[[target with nested  loop] <--- main loop with initial values for target]

On the other hand, if I'm comparing to my tryouts:

noprimes = [[j for i in range(2, 8)] for j in range(i*2, 50, i)]

It looks same but the variables are not separated, so it definitely  was not
defined....

Sincerely,

Ivan

Is this what you want?

>>> [[j for j in range(i*2, 50, i)] for i in range(2,8)]
[[4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40,
42, 44, 46, 48], [6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45, 48],
[8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48], [10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40,
45], [12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48], [14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49]]
