x = [(1,2), (3,4)]
y = [(2,4), (6,8), (10,12)]
print(list(zip_longest(x, y, fillvalue=('', ''))))

This is what I get when I run the code above

>>> x=[(1,2),(3,4)]
>>> y=[(2,4),(6,8),(10,12)]
>>> list(zip_longest(x,y, fillvalue=('','')))
[((1, 2), (2, 4)), ((3, 4), (6, 8)), (('', ''), (10, 12))]

It's different from the list[list] you want in your twitter message This is what your original code from the Twitter discussion gives

>>> somelist=[(1,2),(3,4),(5,6)]
>>> list(map(list, somelist))
[[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]
