title: How to merge lists into a list of tuples?
body: <p>What is the Pythonic approach to achieve the following?</p>
  
  <pre><code># Original lists:
  
  list_a = [1, 2, 3, 4]
  list_b = [5, 6, 7, 8]
  
  # List of tuples from 'list_a' and 'list_b':
  
  list_c = [(1,5), (2,6), (3,7), (4,8)]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Each member of <code>list_c</code> is a tuple, whose first member is from <code>list_a</code> and the second is from <code>list_b</code>.</p>
