Using the zip() method you can merge the two lists in Python. The zip() takes a variable number of arguments. zip(one, two, three) will work, and so on for as many arguments as you wish to pass in.
list(zip(a, b))Note: in python 3.0 zip returns a zip object. You can get a list out of it by calling list(zip(a, b)).
How to zip two lists in Python Example
Simple Python zip two lists example code. First Create a zip object then Convert the zip to a list.
Use the list() method to convert the zip object to a list containing zipped pairs from the original two lists.
list1 = [11, 22, 33]
list2 = [10, 20, 30]
a_zip = zip(list1, list2)
print(list(a_zip))
Output:
Iterating through two lists in parallel using zip()
The zip returns a list of tuples. Using iteration will get the first element of both lists, then the second element of both lists, then the third, etc.
a = [1, 2, 3]
b = [10, 20, 30]
for i, j in zip(a, b):
print(i, j)
Output:
1 10
2 20
3 30
Create a dictionary by passing the output of zip to dict
key = ['a', 'b', 'c']
v = [10, 20, 30]
print(dict(zip(key, v)))
Output: {‘a’: 10, ‘b’: 20, ‘c’: 30}
