Zipping together unicode strings in Python

Question

I have the string:

a = \"ÀÁÂÃÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÒÓÔÕÖÙÚÛÜ\" b = \"àáâãäèéçêëìíîïòóôõöùúûüÿ\"

and I want to create the string

\"ÀàÁáÂâ...\"         


        

Answer 1

This is working on my side (Python 2.x):

>>> a = unicode('ÀÁÂÃÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÒÓÔÕÖÙÚÛÜ', 'utf-8')
>>> b = unicode('àáâãäèéçêëìíîïòóôõöùúûüÿ', 'utf-8')
>>> print ''.join([ ''.join(c) for c in zip(a, b)])
ÀàÁáÂâÃãÈäÉèÊéËçÌêÍëÎìÏíÒîÓïÔòÕóÖôÙõÚöÛùÜú

What error do you have?
