[BangPypers] nested list question

[Nitin Kumar]

I think you can very well use map function

map (function, list1, list2) where in function you can create your desired
list. What map will do is it will call function for each element from list1
and list2 (same indexed) and will do the stuff defined in the function.

Do let me know if i am close to what you want.
