Another possibilities, if you really *desire* to use map() and not list-comprehension (I'd prefer the latter), are:
# Python 2.x: map(func, mylist, itertools.repeat('booHoo', len(mylist))) # Python 3.x, where map() works like Py2.x's itertools.imap(): list(map(func, mylist, itertools.repeat('booHoo'))) Cheers, *j -- Jan Kaliszewski (zuo) <z...@chopin.edu.pl> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
