Hi
I'm brand new to python and I was wondering if anybody knew of a easy way to change every character in a list into its lower case form.
The list is like so: commands = ['CLASS-MAP MATCH-ALL cmap1', 'MaTch Ip AnY', 'CLASS-map Match-Any cmap2', 'MaTch AnY', 'Policy-map policy1', 'Class cmap1', 'policy-Map policy2', 'Service-PoLicy policy1', 'claSS cmap2']
and what I want is: commands = ['class-map match-all cmap1', 'match ip any', 'class-map match-any cmap2', 'match any', 'policy-map policy1', 'class cmap1', 'policy-map policy2', 'service-policy policy1', 'class cmap2']
Are there any defined method within any known modules to do this in one go?
Thanks in advance

You could use string.lower (make sure you "import string"):
In [14]: commands Out[14]: ['CLASS-MAP MATCH-ALL cmap1', 'MaTch Ip AnY', 'CLASS-map Match-Any cmap2', 'MaTch AnY', 'Policy-map policy1', 'Class cmap1', 'policy-Map policy2', 'Service-PoLicy policy1', 'claSS cmap2']
In [15]: commands_lower = [string.lower(f) for f in commands]
In [16]: commands_lower Out[16]: ['class-map match-all cmap1', 'match ip any', 'class-map match-any cmap2', 'match any', 'policy-map policy1', 'class cmap1', 'policy-map policy2', 'service-policy policy1', 'class cmap2']
