Nor for me:
>>> unzip
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
NameError: name 'unzip' is not defined
I don't think it exists.
But it is easy enough to create:
def unzip(L):
"""Reverse a zip.
Expects L to be a list of the form:
[(1, 'a'), (2, 'b'), (3, 'c')]
and returns:
[(1, 2, 3), ('a', 'b', 'c')]
Note that unzip(zip(seq1, seq2)) is not quite a null-op,
because some type information is lost, e.g. lists and
strings are converted into tuples.
"""
return zip(*L)
As you can see, the documentation for unzip is longer than the code itself :-)
