RE: A missing iterator on itertools module?
Antoon,
Even if the suggested solution offers a partial result, you would need
specific requirements to determine what should be done if one or more of the
parts being cycled is shorter than the others. Stopping at that point is one
option. Another is to continue but only interleave ones still producing and
in the same order.
There is a function in itertools called zip_longest() that might be
considered as it keeps going but substitutes a customizable value for
"missing" parts. You could then, perhaps, make a change so that sentinel is
not passed along.

But if your strings are not equal, this will only produce a partial result.

I didn't found anything in itertools to do the job.
The documentation mentions a roundrobin recipe.
So I came up with this solution:
list(chain.from_iterable(zip("AZERTY", "QSDFGH", "WXCVBN")))
['A', 'Q', 'W', 'Z', 'S', 'X', 'E', 'D', 'C', 'R', 'F', 'V', 'T', 'G',

Stefan Ram wrote: ast wrote or quoted: Why did you renamed itertools as _itertools ? Assume I have a module A.py: import math def f(): pass . Assume I have an additional module B.py: import A . Now, when I'm editing "B.py" in IDLE and type "A.", IIRC IDLE will offer me two possible completions: "A.math" and "A.f". The "A.math" makes no sense to me. `import math` imports the `math` module and binds it to `math` in the global namespace of the `A` module. Since it doesn't have a leading underscore, by default it's considered to be a public attribute of the `A` module, and IDLE is offering all the public attributes of the `A` module for completion. I want it to go away. Therefore, I rewrite A.py as: import math as _math def f(): pass . Now, Idle will only offer the completion "A.f". So, I sometimes use this "import math as _math" style. But then, it is simpler for me to /always/ use this style; after all: you can't know whether someone eventually will import your module! You can explicitly declare the public interface of a module by defining `__all__`, listing the names which should be considered part of the module's public interface; see: - https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#the-import-statement - https://peps.python.org/pep-0008/#public-and-internal-interfaces Although `from A import *` is generally discouraged, if `A` defines `__all__` then only the names listed in `__all__` are bound in the importing module's namespace. Otherwise, all names from `A` which don't have a leading underscore are considered to be public and bound in the importing module. I don't use IDLE, but it may be that it also uses `__all__` to determine a module's public API. In that case, setting `__all__ = ["f"]` in `A` should prevent it from offering `math` as a completion (nor any other name that's not in the `__all__` list). -- Mark. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I didn't found anything in itertools to do the job.
So I came up with this solution:
list(chain.from_iterable(zip("AZERTY", "QSDFGH", "WXCVBN")))
Maybe you meant "zip(s1,s2,s3)" as the definition of s1, s2,
and s3 otherwise would not be required. Also the "list" is not
necessary because "chain.from_iterable" already is an iterable.
You could also use "*" instead of "list" to print it. So,
import itertools as _itertools
s =[ "AZERTY", "QSDFGH", "WXCVBN" ]
print( *_itertools.chain.from_iterable( zip( *s )))
. But these are only minor nitpicks; you have found a nice solution!
Why did you renamed itertools as _itertools ?

Do you havbe a neat solution ?
