def zip_longest(*args, fillvalue=None):
    # This function will return a zip object that aggregates elements from each of the iterables.
    # If the iterables are of uneven length, missing values are filled-in with fillvalue.
    # Uses itertools.zip_longest from the Python standard library.

    import itertools

    return itertools.zip_longest(*args, fillvalue=fillvalue)
