That's a little bit harder since you can't just rely on StopIteration being thrown.

This is suboptimal, but off the top of my head:

from typing import Optional, TypeVar

T = TypeVar("T")

def my_zip_longest(*iterables: T, fill_value: Optional[T] = None):
    iters = [iter(i) for i in iterables]
    sentinel = object()
    while True:
        raw = [next(it, sentinel) for it in iters]
        if all(obj is sentinel for obj in raw):
            return
        else:
            yield tuple([fill_value if obj is sentinel else obj for obj in raw])

I don't like the fact that it requires potentially two full iterations of raw per yield, but at the moment, I can't think of how you'd differentiate between a fill_value that coincides with legitimate elements of the list, and all the iterables simply being exhausted.

Thanks. That's quite advanced, and it did work!

Have a nice Holidays!

@danielhao5 No problem, and you as well.
