Python文档研读系列：zip函数

zip([iterable, ...])

This function returns a list of tuples, where the i-th tuple contains the i-th element from each of the argument sequences or iterables. The returned list is truncated in length to the length of the shortest argument sequence. When there are multiple arguments which are all of the same length, zip() is similar to map() with an initial argument of None. With a single sequence argument, it returns a list of 1-tuples. With no arguments, it returns an empty list.

The left-to-right evaluation order of the iterables is guaranteed. This makes possible an idiom for clustering a data series into n-length groups using zip(*[iter(s)]*n).

zip() in conjunction with the * operator can be used to unzip a list:

Formerly, zip() required at least one argument and zip() raised a TypeError instead of returning an empty list.

zip()是Python的一个内建函数，它接受一系列可迭代的对象作为参数，将对象中对应的元素打包成一个个tuple（元组），然后返回由这些tuples组成的list（列表）。若传入参数的长度不等，则返回list的长度和参数中长度最短的对象相同。利用*号操作符，可以将list unzip（解压）

zip函数接受任意多个序列作为参数，将所有序列按相同的索引组合成一个元素是各个序列合并成的tuple的新序列，新的序列的长度以参数中最短的序列为准。另外(*)操作符与zip函数配合可以实现与zip相反的功能，即将合并的序列拆成多个tuple。
