Matrix Transpose in Python

Question

I am trying to create a matrix transpose function for python but I can\'t seem to make it work. Say I have

theArray = [[\'a\',\'b\',\'c\'],[\'d\',\'e\',\'f\         


        

Answer 1

>>> theArray = [['a','b','c'],['d','e','f'],['g','h','i']]
>>> [list(i) for i in zip(*theArray)]
[['a', 'd', 'g'], ['b', 'e', 'h'], ['c', 'f', 'i']]

the list generator creates a new 2d array with list items instead of tuples.
