In python such an object is called a "list".

(In cpython it's implemented as an automatically resizable array.)

There's no operator that will give you that directly - but there are
plenty of one-liners that will yield that list.
e.g:

>>> list(itertools.chain(*([x]*3 for x in [1,2,3])))
[1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3]
