Zipping sequences into tuples

zip is a function that is predefined in Python. It takes two or more sequences and intersperses them. The name of the function refers to a zipper, since it intersperses two rows of teeth.

This example zips a string and a list:

>>> s = 'abc'
>>> t = [0, 1, 2]
>>> zip(s, t)
<zip object at 0x7f7d0a9e7c48>

The result is a zip object that contains pairs that can be iterated over. The most common use of zip is in a for loop:

>>> for pair in zip(s, t):
...     print(pair)
...
('a', 0)
('b', 1)
('c', 2)

We are going to write a my_zip function that does not return a zip object, but directly the list with the tuples. You can assume that the two sequences it receives have the same number of elements:

>>> s = 'abc'
>>> t = [0, 1, 2]
>>> mi_zip(s,t)
[('a', 0), ('b', 1), ('c', 2)]
>>> s = (1,2,3)
>>> t = [4,5,6]
>>> mi_zip(s,t)
[(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)]

Don’t forget to test your function with pytests.
