I would like to translate the contents of a list. For instance, let's say I've got a list of strings and I want to append "foo" to each element. I might do the following;
list1 = ['a', 'b', 'c'] for i in range(0, len(list1)): list1[i] += 'foo' Ok, that much works. But what if I don't want to modify the contents of list1. Instead, I want list2 to hold the modified contents, like so: 1 list1 = ['a', 'b', 'c'] 2 list2 = [] 3 for item in list1: list2.append(item + 'foo') Is there a way to express lines 2-3 sort-of ilke this: list2 = [ for item in list1: item + 'foo' ] Any ideas?
