Rearrange tuple of tuples in Python

Question

I have a tuple of tuples:

t = ((1, 'one'), (2, 'two'))

I need it in the following format:

((1, 2), ('one', 'two'))

How can I convert it? I can do something like:

digits     =  tuple ( digit for digit, word in t )
words      =  tuple ( word for digit, word in t )
rearranged =  tuple ( digits, words )

But that seems not elegant, I suppose there's a more straightforward solution.

Answer 1

Use the following:

tuple(zip(*t))
