We can insert zip() mapping can be inverted. We'll look at several ways to unzip a collection of tuples.

We can't fully unzip an iterable of tuples, since we might want to make multiple passes over the data. Depending on our needs, we may need to materialize the iterable to extract multiple values.

The first way is something we've seen many times: we can use a generator function to unzip a sequence of tuples. For example, assume that the following pairs are a sequence object with two-tuples:

p0= (x[0] for x in pairs)
p1= (x[1] for x in pairs)  

This will create two sequences. The p0 sequence has the first element of each two-tuple; the p1 sequence has the second element of each two-tuple.

Under some circumstances, ...
