\begin{funcdesc}{zip}{\optional{seq1, \moreargs}}
\begin{funcdesc}{zip}{\optional{iterable, \moreargs}}
This function returns a list of tuples, where the \var{i}-th tuple contains
the \var{i}-th element from each of the argument sequences.
the \var{i}-th element from each of the argument sequences or iterables.
The returned list is truncated in length to the length of
the shortest argument sequence. When there are multiple argument
sequences which are all of the same length, \function{zip()} is
the shortest argument sequence. When there are multiple arguments
which are all of the same length, \function{zip()} is
similar to \function{map()} with an initial argument of \code{None}.
With a single sequence argument, it returns a list of 1-tuples.
With no arguments, it returns an empty list.
