title: Can I access every nth value, for each list a large list?
body: <p>Python newbie here! I have a list like this:</p>
  <p>list_a = [[a,b,c], [d,e,f]]</p>
  <p>And I'm trying to find a way to look at only the nth value in each list within the larger list.</p>
  <p>i.e. So both a and d where want the first value in each</p>
  <p>I understand I can do this:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>a -&gt; list_a[0][0]</li>
  <li>d -&gt; list_a[1][0]</li>
  </ul>
  <p>but is there a way I can pull both together to form their own list?</p>
  <p>Thanks.</p>
