Hello NG, I was wondering if there is a way to obtain, from a list of floats, a list of integers without loops. Probably is a basic question, but I can't find an answer... I have had my eyes blinded by Matlab for years, but now that I discovered Python+wxPython there seems to be no limit on what one can do with these 2 tools. Anyway, following the Matlab style, I would like to do something like this:
matrix = [1.5, 4.3, 5.5] integer_matrix = int(matrix) (float for Matlab) (In Matlab, "integer_matrix" is always a double anyway, here I would like only to show the vector-matrix operation). Obviously, Python complains about: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ? TypeError: int() argument must be a string or a number I would like to avoid loops because, having been blinded by Matlab vector-matrix abilities (and corresponding SLOW for-while loops operations), I tend to think that also Python will be slow if I use loops. Does anyone have a suggestion (or maybe could anyone show me that I'm wrong about loops?) Thanks you a lot. Andrea. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
