title: Collect every pair of elements from a list into tuples in Python
body: <p>I have a list of small integers, say:</p>
  <pre><code>[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
  </code></pre>
  <p>I wish to collect the sequential pairs and return a new list containing tuples created from those pairs, i.e.:</p>
  <pre><code>[(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6)]
  </code></pre>
  <p>I know there must be a really simple way to do this, but can't quite work it out.</p>
  <p>Thanks</p>
