Question for zippy.py

Not sure why I'm not getting the right answer here.

zippy.py
# combo([1, 2, 3], 'abc')
# Output:
# [(1, 'a'), (2, 'b'), (3, 'c')]
# If you use .append(), you'll want to pass it a tuple of new values.
def combo(iter1, iter2):
  my_tuple = []
  for index, item in enumerate(iter1):
    my_tuple.append((item, iter2[index]))
    return my_tuple

Your return statement is indented too far and causes the loop to end after one iteration.. Unindent the return to fix the issue.

def combo(iter1, iter2):
  my_tuple = []
  for index, item in enumerate(iter1):
    my_tuple.append((item, iter2[index]))
  return my_tuple

It helps to use 4-space indents to see alignment more clearly.
