list(iterimage(etc etc))

is surely a better way to express identical semantics.  More generally,
[x for x in whatever] (whether x is a single name or gets peculiarly
unpacked and repacked like here) is a good example of inappropriate LC,
to get back to the question in the subject: list(whatever) is the "one
obvious way" to perform the same task.
