Transpose/Unzip Function (inverse of zip)?

zip is its own inverse! Provided you use the special * operator.

>>> zip(*[('a', 1), ('b', 2), ('c', 3), ('d', 4)])
[('a', 'b', 'c', 'd'), (1, 2, 3, 4)]

The way this works is by calling zip with the arguments:

zip(('a', 1), ('b', 2), ('c', 3), ('d', 4))

… except the arguments are passed to zip directly (after being converted to a tu
