list to tuple

[zxo102]

Hi,
I got several dynamic lists a1, b1, c1, .... from a python
application such as
a1 = [1,5,3,2,5,...], the len(a1) varies. Same to b1, c1, ....

With python, I would like to reorganize them into a tuple like

t1 = ((a1[0],b1[0],c1[0],...),(a1[1],b1[1],c1[1],...),...)

Anybody knows how to do that. Thanks for your help.

Try the zip funciton:

py> a = [11,12,13,14]
py> b = [2,3,4,5]
py> c = [20,21,22,23,24,25]

py> zip(a,b,c)
[(11, 2, 20), (12, 3, 21), (13, 4, 22), (14, 5, 23)]

t1 = tuple(zip(a1, b1, c1))

I don't know your requirements, so consider also izip from itertools.

Try this:

a,b,c = list('tab'),list('era'),list('net')
a,b,c (['t', 'a', 'b'], ['e', 'r', 'a'], ['n', 'e', 't']) tuple(((x,y,z) for x,y,z in zip(a,b,c))) (('t', 'e', 'n'), ('a', 'r', 'e'), ('b', 'a', 't'))
