Simple.. please follow this pattern.

x = [1 , 2 , 3]
y = ["a" , "b" , "c"]

z =list(zip(x,y))
print(z)

Here is a standard / self-explaining solution, i hope someone will find it useful:

a = ['a', 'b', 'c']
b = ['1', '2', '3']

c = []
for x, y in zip(a, b):
    c.append(x)
    c.append(y)

print (c)

output:

['a', '1', 'b', '2', 'c', '3']

Of course, you can change it and do manipulations on the values if needed
