Print different size lists side by side

Question

I want to print different size lists side by side.

I'm using

In: for n,g in zip(ten_pos,real_pos):
        print (n + "\t\t\t\t\t\t" + g)

But If one list has 5 item and the other one has 20, It only prints 5 and 5 and I want 5 and 20.

Is there an easy way to solve this?

Then use `itertools.izip_longest`. There's probably a dupe for this already. searching . . . — Moses Koledoye, Jul 20 '16 at 20:40

import itertools

for a, b in itertools.zip_longest([1,2], [3,4,5]):
    print(a, b)

# outputs
1 3
2 4
None 5

You can change the value used to fill with the kwarg fillvalue.
