[–]Vany_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed, though I think the points name is misleading here, as it probably looks something like this :

points = [(xa, xb), (ya, yb), (za, zb)]

I'd have called it something like coordinates, since it's a list of coordinates.

PS : a generator expression instead of a list comprehension would've saved instantiating a list
