Is there a more elegant way to spell this?

Depends on what follows the ':'

In the trivial case all thats outside the comprehension can be dropped:

>>> [x for x in [y for y in range(10) if y % 2 == 0]]
[0, 2, 4, 6, 8]
>>> [y for y in range(10) if y % 2 == 0]
[0, 2, 4, 6, 8]
>>> 

Or

>>> [x*x for x in [y for y in range(10) if y % 2 == 0]]
[0, 4, 16, 36, 64]
>>> [y*y for y in range(10) if y % 2 == 0]
[0, 4, 16, 36, 64]
