Using list comprehension in Python to do something similar to zip()?

Question

I\'m a Python newbie and one of the things I am trying to do is wrap my head around list comprehension. I can see that it\'s a pretty powerful feature that\'s worth learning.

Answer 1

Something like this:

[[c, a] for c, a in zip(cities, airports)]

Alternately, the list constructor can convert tuples to lists:

[list(x) for x in zip(cities, airports)]

Or, the map function is slightly less verbose in this case:

map(list, zip(cities, airports))
