Variant of Paul's example: a = ((1,2), (3, 4), (5, 6), (7, 8), (9, 10)) zip(*a) or [list(t) for t in zip(*a)] if you need lists instead of tuples. (I believe this is something Guido considers an "abuse of *args", but I just consider it an elegant use of zip() considering how the language defines *args.
