sum each value in a list of tuples

by

Use zip() and sum():

In [1]: l = [(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6), (7, 8), (9, 0)]

In [2]: [sum(x) for x in zip(*l)]
Out[2]: [25, 20]

or:

In [4]: map(sum, zip(*l))
Out[4]: [25, 20]

timeit results:

In [16]: l = [(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6), (7, 8), (9, 0)]*1000

In [17]: %timeit [sum(x) for x in zip(*l)]
1000 loops, best of 3: 1.46 ms per loop

In [18]: %timeit [sum(x) for x in izip(*l)]       #prefer itertools.izip
1000 loops, best of 3: 1.28 ms per loop

In [19]: %timeit map(sum, zip(*l))
100 loops, best of 3: 1.48 ms per loop

In [20]: %timeit map(sum, izip(*l))                #prefer itertools.izip
1000 loops, best of 3: 1.29 ms per loop
