How to zip with a list output in Python instead of a tuple output

0 votes
Hi all, pretty simple question. My requirement is that I want to know which is the most efficient way of obtaining a list of lists from a set of lists. Let us say I want a list from a set of 2 lists.

How do I go about doing this?

Check out the following input:

And this is what I would want:

Can we make use of maps instead of zip to achieve this? The problem is that I am unaware of any of the standard libraries that are present to suit my requirement.

I am aware that I can define my own function and make use of it as well.

All help appreciated!

Good question - Considering that you are actually zipping more than two lists, you can make use of the following syntax:

[list(a) for a in zip([1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,8,9])]

What this basically does is that this makes use of the comprehensions of the list and ends up converting each of the element present in the tuple into lists as per your requirement.

Hope this helps!
