Parallel Iteration With Python's zip() Function (Summary)

Intermediate Python Deep Dive: Write Better Python and Build Better Systems Stephen Gruppetta 00:41

This lesson is from the Real Python video course by Liam Pulsifer.

00:00 Over the course of this tutorial series, you’ve become a power user of the Python zip() function. You’ve learned in great detail how’s zip() works, how zip() has changed from Python 2 to Python 3, as well as how to modify your code as needed to deal with those changes.

00:16 You’ve learned how to use the zip() function for parallel iteration, to create dictionaries and sort iterators on the fly, and then how to combine zip() with list and dictionary comprehensions to generate really concise, readable output in list and dictionary form.

00:31 I know I’ve had a lot of fun recording this series, and so I hope you’ll get out there and start using zip() in your own Python code. Thanks for watching!
