How to unzip a list of tuples into individual lists? [duplicate]

A Transpose/Unzip Function in Python

I have a list of tuples, where I want to unzip this list into two independent lists. I’m looking for some standardized operation in Python.

>>> l = [(1,2), (3,4), (8,9)]
>>> f_xxx (l)
[ [1, 3, 8], [2, 4, 9] ] 

I’m looking for a succinct and pythonic way to achieve this.

Basically, I’m hunting for inverse operation of zip() function.
