Solved rather easily by chain(*sequences):

>>> from itertools import chain
>>> def concat(sequences):
...     return chain(*sequences)
...
>>> concat([[1,2], [3, 4], [5], [6, 7, 8]])
<itertools.chain object at 0xb7cffc0c>
>>> list(concat([[1,2], [3, 4], [5], [6, 7, 8]]))
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]


wondering if google groups will add a .sig or not-ly,
