Split a list of tuples into sub-lists of the same tuple field [duplicate]

Answer 1

To get multiple lists of singletons from a list of tuples:

foo = ((1,2), (3, 4), (5, 6), (7,8) , (9, 10))
[[z[i] for z in foo] for i in (0,1)]

If you prefer to get multiple tuples of singletons:

zip(*[(1,4),(2,5),(3,6)])
