What is the most efficient way of applying a function to all the elements of an iterable while discarding the result (i.e. operations are done only for side-effects).
For example if I want to save all elements in a list of items (and am not interested in what save() returns), the simplest way is: itemlist = [i1, i2, i3....] for item in itemlist: item.save() It might be squeezing too much but is it possible to do it more efficiently by pushing the looping inside the C code and achieve some gains as is done by using map in place of a for loop when the return values need to be saved? Any suggestions will be appreciated.
