[Tutor] for loops over multiple lists of the same length
I feel like there should be a better way to do this process: Can you please help? (This is trivial example code I created off the top of my head, but the same concept that I am trying to do elsewhere.) class Person(object): def __init__(self, first_name, age, fav_color): self.first_name = first_name self.age = age self.fav_color = fav_color first_names = ['emily', 'john', 'jeremy', 'juanita'] ages = [6, 34, 1, 19] colors = ['blue', 'orange', 'green', 'yellow'] ageIter = ages.iter() colorIter = colors.iter() people = [Person(name, ageIter.next(), colorIter.next()) for name in first_names] print people any suggestions, please?

The builtin function zip() does this: people = [Person(name, age, color) for name, age color in zip(first_names, ages, colors)] Kent ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
