#85757

https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/datastructures.html#nested-list-comprehensions

I do think this is clearer, but I wonder if 'nested' should be kept though to get the terminology out there more often. So perhaps it could be something like 'inner (nested) listcomp' or 'nested (inner) listcomp' despite sounding a bit redundant

Inner seems a better choice than nested. To keep terms consistent, also change nested to inner on line 321:

# the following 3 lines implement the nested listcomp

For a tutorial, wouldn't it be a good idea to sprinkle in terminology like 'nested' here and there? I do think using inner is clearer in this case but I wonder if keeping some cases of neated would be good so the reader gets used to seeing them

I don't have a strong opinion here. Both inner and nested are ok to use
