x=[10188.4, 3533.88, 773.924, 0.000000, 0.000000, 3749.69, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 3395.03]
y=[163.350,  514.050, 864.750, 1215.45, 1566.15, 1916.85, 2267.55, 2618.25, 2968.95, 3319.65]

when i try

zip(x,y)

This is correct (in Python 3). If you really want the output to be a list, run

list(zip(x, y))

but if you want to use it in a loop, it's better to keep the zip object.

Thanks eric_g. but I have not seen this trick in the docs.

In fact, I have found in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3... that in Python3 zip there is a change of usage :

xy=[*zip(x,y)]

works -- see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3...

There is perhaps the need to update the documentation (https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/them...)

What update do you think is needed? The use of zip in the documentation is correct and follows Eric's point: if you want to use it in a loop, as is done in the documentation, keep it as a zip object. In any case, feel free to open a sage-trac account and propose edits to the documentation.
