Sorry, but your examples do not quite make sense, at least not to me.
Your Django example is too confused, and has at least one off-by-one
error. I also strongly suspect that your design needs revisiting.

What are the 1, 2, 3, and 4 values above? Simply these four fixed
values, or are they something like IDs of Django model instances.
Assuming the former (though I really do not then understand your
use case), here is a straightforward way:
list1 = []
for i in criteria_list[:2]:
    for j in range(4):
        l.append( ( i, j + 1 ) )

This could be made more "Pythonic" with list expressions, but IMHO,
these would only make the logic harder to follow?
