Python list comprehension to get max() of each list column

I have following list of list:

lst = [[1,3], [3,4], [2,7], [6,5]]

How do I create "oneliner" to get list of max() of each "column"?

so for the example above the resulting list should be following: [6,7], where 6 is the maximum of "column 0" and 7 is the maximum of "column 1".

>Solution :

You can use zip which splits the pairs into two separate tuples:

>>> lst = [[1,3], [3,4], [2,7], [6,5]]

>>> list(zip(*lst))
[(1, 3, 2, 6), (3, 4, 7, 5)]

So, overall:

>>> [max(v) for v in zip(*lst)]
[6, 7]
