Python How to pair two list by lambda and map

Question

For example, I have following two lists

listA=[\'one\', \'two\' , \'three\'] listB=[\'apple\',\'cherry\',\'watermelon\']

How can I pair those two lists to

Answer 1

The easiest solution would be to simply use zip as in:

>>> listA=['one', 'two' , 'three']
>>> listB=['apple','cherry','watermelon']
>>> list(zip(listA, listB))
[('one', 'apple'), ('two', 'cherry'), ('three', 'watermelon')]

I guess it would be possible to use map and lambdas, but that would just needlessly complicate things as this is really the ideal case for zip.
