How to split 1 list by 2?

Question

Python

There is a list:

points = ["42.07, 48.29", "42.81, 132.87", "42.82, 47.12", "42.88, 47.64", "42.98, 47.5"]

I need to split it into two lists so it looks like this:

point1 = ["42.07", "42.81", "42.82", "42.88", "42.98" ]
point2 = ["48.29", "132.87", "47.12", "47.64" ,"47.5"]

How can this be implemented?

Answer 1

points = ["42.07, 48.29", "42.81, 132.87", "42.82, 47.12", "42.88, 47.64", "42.98, 47.5"]
point1, point2 = list(), list()

for point in points:
    p1, p2 = point.split(',')
    point1.append(p1.strip())
    point2.append(p2.strip())

Answer 2

point1, point2 = map(list, zip(*[ n.split(', ') for n in points ]))
