How to order a list in this fashion: [1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2]

Question

Suppose I have list_A and list_B:
list_A = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
list_B = [2, 2, 2, 2, 2]

How can achieve a third list mixing them like this: [1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2]

Language: Python 3

Thanks

Is this what you are looking for?

list_A = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
list_B = [2, 2, 2, 2, 2]
c = list(zip(list_A,list_B))
print (c)

Output will be as follows:

[(1, 2), (1, 2), (1, 2), (1, 2), (1, 2)]

Or are you looking for :

 [1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2]
