like map(None, ...), perhaps ? >>> a = "1234" >>> b = "12" >>> c = "123" >>> d = "1234" >>> zip(a, b, c, d) [('1', '1', '1', '1'), ('2', '2', '2', '2')] >>> map(None, a, b, c, d) [('1', '1', '1', '1'), ('2', '2', '2', '2'), ('3', None, '3', '3'), ('4', None, None, '4')] </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
