Dont know what version of python spells it that way.. seems old
In 2.7 you can do this:
>>> a=set([frozenset(['a']), frozenset(['b','c'])])
>>> {y for x in a for y in x}
set(['a', 'c', 'b'])
It may be easier to understand written the way set-expressions in math are normally written:
{y | x ∈ a, y ∈ x}
And then treat the python as an ASCII-fication of the math
Likewise
>>> frozenset(y for x in a for y in x)
frozenset(['a', 'c', 'b'])
>>>
