Zip lists in Python

Question

I am trying to learn how to \"zip\" lists. To this end, I have a program, where at a particular point, I do the following:

x1, x2, x3 = stuff.calculations(wi         


        

Answer 1

In Python 2.7 this might have worked fine:

>>> a = b = c = range(20)
>>> zip(a, b, c)

But in Python 3.4 it should be (otherwise, the result will be something like ):

>>> a = b = c = range(20)
>>> list(zip(a, b, c))
