title: How to zip lists in a list
body: <p>I want to zip the following list of lists:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; zip([[1,2], [3,4], [5,6]])
  [[1,3,5], [2,4,6]]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This could be achieved with the current <code>zip</code> implementation only if the list is split into individual components:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; zip([1,2], [3,4], [5,6])
     (1, 3, 5), (2, 4, 6)]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can't figure out how to split the list and pass the individual elements to <code>zip</code>. A functional solution is preferred.</p>
