Parsing a data file usually yields a sequence of rows (records), data processing functions usually expects columns of homogeneous data and convert from records to columns and back is pretty straightforward using zip. If you want to use a different representation for your data you'll need to handle more complex structures and conversions. Do it if you think it pays (sometimes it does). > But actually after understanding what zip does, I think I don't need > it anyway... > Talking about this: can you give me an example of another use of zip ? > not just zip(*head) > > I did help(zip) but I could partially understand what it does. I > learned more by doing: > x,y,z = zip(*head) > and then printing x,y,z individually. There is no other use I can think of. If you think of the arguments passed to zip as rows, it returns the columns. If the arguments are columns, zip returns rows. How you name things depends on how you think of your data. There is no other use I can think of. zip expects each row (if they are rows) to be passed as an argument so you usually need that * thing to unpack them. When you call zip(*x), x being a sequence or array-like, you are actually passing each element of x as an argument to zip. Try this: numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] english = ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five'] spanish = ['uno', 'dos', 'tres', 'cuatro', 'cinco'] x = [numbers, english, spanish] zip(numbers, english, spanish) zip(x) zip(*x) You can learn about unpacking and zipping sequences reading the Python Tutorial or another similar resource (maybe Dive into Python dives into it, not sure but a useful reading anyway).

[Matplotlib-users] One bug of PrintoutWx ( line 2109 in backend_wx.py )
Dear All, For the class "PrintoutWx" in backend_wx.py, because it doesn't update the API change from matplotlib 0.98.3. All of "print" and "print preview" doesn't work correctly on new version(matplotlib 0.98.3.) if we change the line in 2109 "self.canvas.figure.dpi.set(fig_dpi)" into "self.canvas.figure.set_dpi(fig_dpi)". Then it works. Would you please change that.

[Matplotlib-users] bluemarbel image boundaries in robinson projection
When plotting a global image using the robinson projection and the bluemarble image, I have the problem that the image remains rectangular and goes beyond the curved projection map boundaries (see attachment). Is there anyway around this?

[Matplotlib-users] Legend over plot lines
Is there a way to automatically resize plots (and subplots) and move/resize plot legends so that they don't obscure the plotted data? I have this problem especially on plots with 4 or 5 tracks. I can post an example, but I wasn't sure of the etiquette of posting images to this list.
