Until you apply Chris' slicing trick, and then:

>>> [list(range(1,13))[i*3:i*3+3] for i in range(4)]
[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9], [10, 11, 12]]
>>> [range(1,13)[i*3:i*3+3] for i in range(4)]
[range(1, 4), range(4, 7), range(7, 10), range(10, 13)]
>>> 

Depends how important it is that you get a list and not a range object ;)

(Thinking back to a recent discussion where someone was taking str(range
(x)) and not getting the expected results)
