">>> _ = lambda c: lambda x: c(*x) >>> list(map(_(P), zip([1,2,3], [6, 5, 4]))) [Point(x=1, y=6), Point(x=2, y=5), Point(x=3, y=4)] ? While the obvious approach would be >>> [P(*args) for args in zip([1,2,3], [6, 5, 4])] [Point(x=1, y=6), Point(x=2, y=5), Point(x=3, y=4)] " I would have coded >>> map(_(P), zip([1,2,3], [6, 5, 4])) Which is very concise and (to me) quite clear. Forgive me for having a bias for fewer characters. Are you saying it's always preferable to avoid map? Is map going to be deprecated? I sometimes use map, sometimes comprehensions. I suspect other people do the same, that's why the language supports map and comprehensions. "there is also itertools.starmap(): " Thanks, that's a bit closer to what I am doing. To me the pure combinator is more appealing than starmap, but the presence of starmap explains why the library wouldn't need the combinator. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
