Python # How to zip non uniform lists?

In Python, we generally use ZIP tool for parsing multiple lists at once but if these list sizes are different then that parsing stop at the min length among lists used in ZIP tool.

Here we introducing a new tool where this iZIP tool will parse till last element of lists is used iZIP Tool ( itertools.izip_longest)

Code:

>>> import itertools
>>> a1=[1,2,3,6,7,9]
>>> c1=['a','a','c','d']
>>> b1=[10,20,30,40,50,60]
>>> d1=[11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18]
>>> mylist = list(itertools.izip_longest(a1,b1,c1,d1))
>>> 
>>> mylist
[(1, 10, 'a', 11), (2, 20, 'a', 12), (3, 30, 'c', 13), (6, 40, 'd', 14), (7, 50, None, 15), (9, 60, None, 16), (None, None, None, 17), (None, None, None, 18)]
>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> 
>>> 
>>> pprint(mylist)
[(1, 10, 'a', 11),
 (2, 20, 'a', 12),
 (3, 30, 'c', 13),
 (6, 40, 'd', 14),
 (7, 50, None, 15),
 (9, 60, None, 16),
 (None, None, None, 17),
 (None, None, None, 18)]

``Happy learning :)
