Only if the sequences are of the same length. I've added this to the
PEP, using the extended call syntax.
Note that when the sequences are of the same length, zip() is
reversible:
>>> a = (1, 2, 3)
>>> b = (4, 5, 6)
>>> x = zip(a, b)
>>> y = zip(*x) # alternatively, apply(zip, x)
>>> z = zip(*y) # alternatively, apply(zip, y)
>>> x
[(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)]
>>> y
[(1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6)]
>>> z
[(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)]
>>> x == z
1
It is not possible to reverse zip this way when the sequences are
not all the same length.
