| I feel like there should be a better way to do this process:
| Can you please help?
| (This is trivial example code I created off the top of my head, but the 
| same concept that I am trying to do elsewhere.)
| 
| class Person(object):
| 	def __init__(self, first_name, age, fav_color):
| 		self.first_name = first_name
| 		self.age = age
| 		self.fav_color = fav_color
| 
| first_names = ['emily', 'john', 'jeremy', 'juanita']
| ages = [6, 34, 1, 19]
| colors = ['blue', 'orange', 'green', 'yellow']
| 
| ageIter = ages.iter()
| colorIter = colors.iter()
| people = [Person(name, ageIter.next(), colorIter.next()) for name in 
| first_names]
| 	
| print people
| 
| any suggestions, please?
| Emily

data = [['emily',6,'blue'],['jhon',34,'orange'],['jeremy',1,'green'],['junita',19,'yellow']]
people = [Person(name,age,color) for name,age,color in data]
