I think you are wrong about list(). Since map() returns a list already it doesn't change anything. > print "%s, %s" % tuple(map(transform, pair)) Yes, it works. > but it feels a bit hackish to me. I can't imagine what else you could do to turn a list into a tuple that would be less hackish than simply making it a tuple. > I find I hit it mostly with calls to map() where I want to apply > some transform (as above) to all the items in a list of > parameters such as > > "%s=%s&%s=%s" % map(urllib.quote, params) Isn't map() deprecated? The above can be done with; "%s=%s&%s=%s" % tuple([urllib.quote(x) for x in params]) > Any suggestions? (even if it's just "get over your hangup with > wrapping the results in list()/tuple()" :) Pretty much. :-) -- D'Arcy J.M.
