Combining Iterables with zip_longest Function

The zip_longest function is used to combine multiple iterable objects into an iterator. If the iterable objects are of uneven length, missing values are filled in with fillvalue.

def zip_longest(*iterables, fillvalue=None):
    "zip_longest(*iterables, fillvalue=<default>) -> zip object"
    "Return an iterator that aggregates elements from each of the iterables.
    The iterator returns pairs from the iterables. If the iterables are of uneven
    length, missing values are filled-in with fillvalue. fillvalue defaults to
    None."
    from itertools import zip_longest
    return zip_longest(*iterables, fillvalue=fillvalue)
