Python Lists [ ] [SOLVED]

Say I have three Lists:

list_A = [(1,2,3,4,5), (1,2,3,4,5)]
      list_B = [(1,2,6,7,5), (1,2,6,7,5)]
      list_C = [ ]

1]  I want to compare "list_A" and "list_B"
2]  Then append  "list_C" by taking the duplicates and turn them to "0"

list_C = [(0,0,6,7,0),(0,0,6,7,0)]

I have tried set(list_A) - set(list_B) to compare but it doesn't work

Any help please :cry:

This is how I would do it by comparing the same index of each list:

list_A = [1,2,3,4,5]
list_B = [1,2,6,7,5]
list_C = [ ]
  
for i in range(len(list_A)) :
    if list_A[i] == list_B[i]:
        list_C.append(0)
    else:
        list_C.append(list_B[i])
  
print list_C

I have update my post a little, sorry :blush:

I will take a look if your solution works tonight, thanks

To explain better I want to achieve this.
This script is to move certain points of my cube with python but this script is a little long and I'm sure there is a simpler shorter way to do this.

Hello,

the way Shawn show it, is a good way to go.
A few tips
For an enumeration you don´t need an index in your List.
If you use a vector you can access the coordinates with e.g vec = c4d.Vector(3,0,0) vec.x=3.
in xrange is faster.
You might use your slider control directly in the xrange iteration, therefore you don´t need to iterate twice and the list number 3 is not necessary.
But to get started:

  
import c4d  
  
  
def main() :  
    
  List_1=[c4d.Vector(0,1,0),c4d.Vector(5,2,0),c4d.Vector(3,0,3)]  
  List_2=[c4d.Vector(1,1,0),c4d.Vector(5,2,0),c4d.Vector(0,3,0)]  
  List_3=[]  
  for i in xrange(len(List_2)) :  
        
      if List_2[i].x == List_1[i].x:  
          List_2[i].x=0    
      if List_2[i].y == List_1[i].y:  
          List_2[i].y=0    
      if List_2[i].z == List_1[i].z:   
          List_2[i].z=0     
        
      List_3.append(List_2[i])      
            
  print List_3          
    
if __name__=='__main__':  
  main()  
  

Best wishes
Martin

EDIT:

If you do not write the list by your own and it is the type of list you show, than this is a way to access the items e.g.:

  
  Points_List = [" 0, -100, -200, -100 ", " 1, -100, 100, -100 ", " 2, 100, -100, -100 "]  
  #first member third item  
  print Points_List[0].split(",")[2]

Thanks Martin for all your help. Slowly but I'm getting there:thumbsup:
