Iterate through adjacent pairs of items in a Python list

Is it possible to iterate a list in the following way in Python (treat this code as pseudocode)? a = [5, 7, 11, 4, 5] for v, w in a: print [v, w] And it should produce [5, 7] [7, 11] [11, 4] [4, 5]
From the itertools recipes: from itertools import tee def pairwise(iterable): "s -> (s0,s1), (s1,s2), (s2, s3), ..." a, b = tee(iterable) next(b, None) return zip(a, b) for v, w in pairwise(a): ...
