Generating a list of tuples

[Benny the Guard]

Looking for the classiest way to do this, just for fun. Say you have a list of names

names=['george', 'paul', 'john', 'ringo']

and a location string:

location='liverpool'

Now you want to combine these into a list of tuples based on location:

[('george','live rpool'), ('paul','liverp ool'), ('john','liverp ool'), ('ringo','liver pool')]

Kind of like a zip function but with all values from names present and kind of like a map function but with the location used not None. So a little twist on some common functions. Thoughts?

Following are two ways. You can decide how classy they are.

def zip_location(seq, location):
    return [(item,location) for item in seq]

def zip_location(seq, location):
    return zip(seq, [location for i in range(len(seq))])
