#(apply map list %) transposes a matrix just like the Python zip* function. As a macro definition:

user=> (defmacro py-zip [lst] `(apply map list ~lst))

#'user/py-zip

user=> (py-zip '((1 2 3 4) (9 9 9 9) (5 6 7 8)))

((1 9 5) (2 9 6) (3 9 7) (4 9 8))

user=> (py-zip '((1 9 5) (2 9 6) (3 9 7) (4 9 8)))

((1 2 3 4) (9 9 9 9) (5 6 7 8))
