也许不是最优雅的解决方案，但这里有一个使用嵌套while循环的解决方案:

def transpose(lst):
    newlist = []
    i = 0
    while i < len(lst):
        j = 0
        colvec = []
        while j < len(lst):
            colvec.append(lst[j][i])
            j = j + 1
        newlist.append(colvec)
        i = i + 1
    return newlist

matrix = [[1,2,3],
          [1,2,3],
          [1,2,3],
          [1,2,3],
          [1,2,3],
          [1,2,3],
          [1,2,3]]
    
rows = len(matrix)
cols = len(matrix[0])

transposed = []
while len(transposed) < cols:
    transposed.append([])
    while len(transposed[-1]) < rows:
        transposed[-1].append(0)

for i in range(rows):
    for j in range(cols):
        transposed[j][i] = matrix[i][j]

for i in transposed:
    print(i)

import numpy as np
r = list(map(list, np.transpose(l)))

More_itertools.unzip()很容易阅读，它也可以用于生成器。

import more_itertools
l = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]
r = more_itertools.unzip(l) # a tuple of generators.
r = list(map(list, r))      # a list of lists

或者同样的

import more_itertools
l = more_itertools.chunked(range(1,10), 3)
r = more_itertools.unzip(l) # a tuple of generators.
r = list(map(list, r))      # a list of lists

只是为了好玩，有效的矩形假设m[0]存在

>>> m = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]
>>> [[row[i] for row in m] for i in range(len(m[0]))]
[[1, 4, 7], [2, 5, 8], [3, 6, 9]]

一种方法是用NumPy转置。如需列出清单，请填写:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> np.array(l).T.tolist()
[[1, 4, 7], [2, 5, 8], [3, 6, 9]]

或者另一个没有zip (python < 3)的:

>>> map(list, map(None, *l))
[[1, 4, 7], [2, 5, 8], [3, 6, 9]]

或者对于python >= 3:

>>> list(map(lambda *x: list(x), *l))
[[1, 4, 7], [2, 5, 8], [3, 6, 9]]
