  Fixed bug #1620: New @spam.getter property syntax modifies the property in place.

Nested List Comprehensions
--------------------------
If you've got the stomach for it, list comprehensions can be nested. They are a
powerful tool but -- like all powerful tools -- they need to be used carefully,
if at all.
Consider the following example of a 3x3 matrix held as a list containing three
lists, one list per row::
>>> mat = [
... [1, 2, 3],
... [4, 5, 6],
... [7, 8, 9],
... ]
Now, if you wanted to swap rows and columns, you could use a list
comprehension::
>>> print [[row[i] for row in mat] for i in [0, 1, 2]]
[[1, 4, 7], [2, 5, 8], [3, 6, 9]]
Special care has to be taken for the *nested* list comprehension:
To avoid apprehension when nesting list comprehensions, read from right to
left.
A more verbose version of this snippet shows the flow explicitly::
for i in [0, 1, 2]:
for row in mat:
print row[i],
print
In real world, you should prefer builtin functions to complex flow statements.
The :func:`zip` function would do a great job for this use case::
>>> zip(*mat)
[(1, 4, 7), (2, 5, 8), (3, 6, 9)]
See :ref:`tut-unpacking-arguments` for details on the asterisk in this line.
