> unzip doesn't seem to work for me... It's not a part of the standard Python distribution, but this is a naive implementation (it doesn't react well to the list's contents having different lengths).
def unzip(seq):
result = [[] for i in range(len(seq[0]))]
for item in seq:
for index in range(len(item)):
result[index].append(item[index])
return result
>>> unzip(zip(range(5), 'abcde'))
[[0, 1, 2, 3, 4], ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']]
