I haven't been following this too closely, but if you need to transpose
your data without converting all to one type, I can think of a couple of
different approaches:
1. zip(*yourlist)
2. numpy.transpose(numpy.array(yourlist, dtype=object)
I haven't tested them though (particularly the second one), so caveat
emptor, etc, etc.
