Python 2.6 adds operator.methodcaller. So you could use operator.methodcaller('__call__'), but that's not really any better than lambda x: x(). A patch to add operator.caller(*args, **kwargs) may be a good idea. Your example would then be: map(operator.caller(), lst) That reads ok to me. I think this reads better though: [callable() for callable in lst] <wink> -Andrew. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
