Python 中的列表排序（转置）

Question

I have arbitrary lists, for instance here are three lists:

a = [1,1,1,1]
b = [2,2,2,2]
c = [3,3,3,3]

And I want transpose them together in order to get the output like this:

f_out = [1,2,3]
g_out = [1,2,3]
...
n_out = [1,2,3]

As, you can see, I just converted "columns" to "rows".

The issue is a solution has to be independent of the lists length.

For example:

a = [1,1]
b = [2]
c = [3,3,3]
# output
f_out = [1,2,3]
g_out = [1,3]
n_out = [3]

Answer 1

You can use zip_longest

>>> from itertools import zip_longest
>>> a = [1,1]
>>> b = [2]
>>> c = [3,3,3]
>>> f,g,h=[[e for e in li if e is not None] for li in zip_longest(a,b,c)]
>>> f
[1, 2, 3]
>>> g
[1, 3]
>>> h
[3]

If None is a potential valid value in the lists, use a sentinel object instead of the default None :

>>> b = [None]
>>> sentinel = object()
>>> [[e for e in li if e is not sentinel] for li in zip_longest(a,b,c, fillvalue=sentinel)]
[[1, None, 3], [1, 3], [3]]
