This sounds specific enough that I'd want it in a separate function. def specially_rounded_integer(num): """ Round a number using our special rules """ rounded_num = num * phase_of_moon() # or whatever else you need to do return rounded_num > Brands = ["B1","B2"] > A1 = [] > A1 = [ re.search(r"(?m)(?s)\r%s.*?SECOND.*?(?:(\d{1,3}\.\d)\s+){2}" % i, > target_table).group(1) for i in Brands ] > A1 = [int(float(str(x))+0.5) for x in A1 ] > print A1 original_nums = however_you_get_them() rounded_nums = [specially_rounded_integer(n) for n in original_nums] If it's not quickly obvious on a single line, express it more fully.
