Combining Iterables with Fillvalue using zip_longest

  • Share this:

Code introduction


This function utilizes the `zip_longest` function from the `itertools` module to combine iterable objects together. If one of the iterable objects is shorter than the others, it uses `fillvalue` to fill in the missing parts.

def zip_longest(*args, fillvalue=None):
    from itertools import zip_longest

    def zip_longest_helper(*args, fillvalue=None):
        return zip_longest(*args, fillvalue=fillvalue)
