title: Element to Element addition of two lists in python
body: <p>I have created two lists.</p>
  
  <pre><code>list1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
  list2 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After creating two lists, I want an addition of the elements of list1 and list2.
  Each element of list1 should add to each element of list2.</p>
  
  <p>I can only come-up with merging of two lists with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>list1[:] + lis2[:]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I look-up for the pythons tutorial but couldn't find anything.</p>
  
  <p>How could I add elements wise to elements addition of items of two lists in python?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT 1: Ok that's great, I have already come across the question to which it is marked as duplicate, but my question is different.</p>
  
  <p>I want each element of list1 should add to each element of list2. For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>list1[1] + list2[1] adds and gives 2 and 
  list1[1] + list2[2] adds and gives 3 so on...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>New list should have 36 elements </p>
