Try this routine on... it's a kludge, but it works..

def combiner(inlist):
    outlist = []
    indent = 0
    command = ''
    for arg in inlist:
        command = command + indent*'  ' + 'for xx' + `indent` + ' in
inlist[' + `indent` + ']:\n'
        indent = indent + 1
    command = command + indent*'  ' + 'outlist.append(['
    for x in range(0, indent):
        if x == indent-1:
            command = command + 'xx' + `x`
        else:
            command = command + 'xx' + `x` + ','
    command = command + '])\n'
    exec command
    return outlist
