In that case
[(x, x**2) for x in range(10)]
seems to be somewhat more readable.
I would also say that
[(x, x**2) for x in range(10) if x + x**2 < 80]
doesn't really seem worse than any of the variants with y in it.
(Yes, I get that your real duplicated expression is probably a bit more
complex than `x**2`, but by the time a temporary variable really
improves readability it's probably a good time to split that across
multiple lines, too.)
