[Tutor] Working with lists

[Paul McGuire]

Even simpler than Rich Lovely's:

    newlist = [a+b for a,b in itertools.izip(l1[:-1], l1[1:])]
 
is to just use the built-in zip:

    newlist = [a+b for a,b in zip(l1[:-1], l1[1:])]

since you can be sure that l1[:-1] and l1[1:] will always be the same
length, so there is no need for a fill value (one of the enhancements you
get when using itertools.izip).

I often use zip this way when I need to get each item and its next-highest
neighbor from a list.
