Category: Python Library Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Rejected Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Gregory Petrosyan (gregory_p) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Add "methodcaller" to the operator module Initial Comment: I found that I (like Alex Martelli, http://mail.python. org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-February/060341.html :-) am writing lambdas like "lambda x: x.do_smth(a,b,c)" a lot (often for filter/map functions). So, I think it would be great to have such a function implemented in C and placed in the standart library. Operator module can be a good place for it. -- Regards, Gregory. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Collin Winter (collinwinter) Date: 2007-03-30 10:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1344176 Originator: NO Guido has stated that lambda will not be removed in Python 3000 (see PEP 3099), so I can't see the need for a HOF to avoid lambda-usage, especially when the lambda expression is shorter/clearer: operator.methodcaller('method', x, y, z) lambda x: x.method(x, y, z) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=1506171&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
