Pythonic way to unpack an iterator inside of a list

Question

I\'m trying to figure out what is the pythonic way to unpack an iterator inside of a list.

For example:

my_iterator = zip([1, 2, 3, 4], [1, 2, 3, 4]         


        

Answer 1

I tend to use zip if I need to convert a list to a dictionary or use it as a key-value pair in a loop or list comprehension.

However, if this is only for illustration to create an iterator. I will definitely vote for #3 for clarity.
