How to use the Zip function in Python

Did you know you can use the Python zip function as a lazy generator to iterate over those two lists at the same time? Let’s test it out in this new Python Tips video.

Making lists of two different items using a zip isn't difficult but because of recent changes from Python 3.10 all iterables must be the same length.

Here, Anaconda’s Sophia Yang shows how using the zip_longest function from itertools will replace missing elements in a shorter list with “None” to meet Python 3.10’s new requirements.

This was the first video that I ran into that addressed my issue, and iter_tools has a perfect solution. Thanks.
