OTOH, he's probably just trying to get someone to remember zip-abuse for him.
Hope it's not homework ;-)

 >>> sq = [[r+c for c in 'abc'] for r in '123']
 >>> for r in sq: print r
 ...
 ['1a', '1b', '1c']
 ['2a', '2b', '2c']
 ['3a', '3b', '3c']
 >>> for r in (zip(*sq)): print r
 ...
 ('1a', '2a', '3a')
 ('1b', '2b', '3b')
 ('1c', '2c', '3c')
