I would have thought you want this...

>>> for i, x in enumerate(collatz(13)):
...   last = x[:i+1]
...   print x[:i+1]
... else:
...   last.append(1)
...   print last
...
[13]
[13, 40]
[13, 40, 20]
[13, 40, 20, 10]
[13, 40, 20, 10, 5]
[13, 40, 20, 10, 5, 16]
[13, 40, 20, 10, 5, 16, 8]
[13, 40, 20, 10, 5, 16, 8, 4]
[13, 40, 20, 10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2]
[13, 40, 20, 10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1]
