Nice. The regular Python equivalent is

a = [[1,2],[3,4]]
print([row[::-1] for row in a[::-1]])
 >>>
[[4, 3], [2, 1]]

The second slice can be replaced with reversed(a), which returns an 
iterator, to get
[row[::-1] for row in reversed(a)]
The first slice would have to be list(reversed(a)) to get the same result.
