how to get every pair in aa a separate list?

Answer 1

you can zip the items in a list and unpack them in a list comp.

new_list = [[x,y] for x,y in  zip(a,b)]

---

print(new_list)
[[1, 4], [2, 5], [3, 6]]

the issue with your solution is your first turning your lists into an iterator (correct) but you are only calling the first value with next
