Just to fill out some other refinements for your information, if you're 
not planning to do anything special with the string formatting in each 
list, you don't really need to call format() when all it's doing is just 
making a string representation of the data value.  so
   '{0}'.format(x+1)
could just be
   str(x+1)

Resulting in:
   [[str(x+1), x+1] for x in range(size)]

Also, if you didn't like the repeated x+1 in there, you could just 
change the range call to go from 1..size directly:

   [[str(x), x] for x in range(1,size+1)]
