keys and values lining up

[Nathan Clegg]

Hmmmm...not sure this worked quite the way you thought it would :)  Output
below.

>>> d = {'key1' : 'val1', 'key2' : 'val2', 'key3' : 'val3'}
>>> keys, values = transpose(d.items())
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ValueError: unpack sequence of wrong size
>>> transpose(d.items())
array([[[k, k, k],
        [v, v, v]],
       [[e, e, e],
        [a, a, a]],
       [[y, y, y],
        [l, l, l]],
       [[1, 2, 3],
        [1, 2, 3]]],'c')
>>> 

It does work when all of the keys and values are numbers, and actually
raises an exception with string keys and numeric values.  Eek!
