Creating Sublists from a “List”

Question

I have a list in a file, looks like this

c4a24534,2434b375,e750c718, .... 

I have split at \",\" and brought the below list.

x         


        

Answer 1

You can use zip to separate the list into two collections.

x=[
['c4a2', '4534'], 
['2434', 'b375'],
['e750', 'c718']
]

i,q = zip(*x)

print i
print q

Result:

('c4a2', '2434', 'e750')
('4534', 'b375', 'c718')

These are tuples, though. If you really want lists, you would need to convert them.

i,q = map(list, zip(*x))
#or:
i,q = [list(tup) for tup in zip(*x)]
#or:
i,q = zip(*x)
i, q = list(i), list(q)
