You want to perform a uniform call on the elements of a collection.
"Diagram A" appends 0 to every item of a list.
>>> y= [ [] for k in range( 10 ) ]
>>> def x( fun, *ar, **kw ):
... def post( *xr, **xw ):
... return fun( *(xr+ ar), **kw )
... return post
...
>>> x( list.append, 0 )( y[0] )
>>> y
[[0], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], []]
>>> x( list.pop, 0 )( y[0] )
0
>>> y
[[], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], []]
>>> list( map( x( list.append, 0 ), y ) )
[None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None]
>>> y
[[0], [0], [0], [0], [0], [0], [0], [0], [0], [0]]
If the elements are immutable,
>>> y= [ () for k in range( 10 ) ]
>>> list( map( x( tuple.__add__, ( 0, ) ), y ) )
[(0,), (0,), (0,), (0,), (0,), (0,), (0,), (0,), (0,), (0,)]
you get your new list from map. Here it is with integer elements:
>>> y= ( 300, 400 )
>>> tuple( map( x( int.__add__, 1, ), y ) )
(301, 401)
--You could spell the call like this:
latemap( y, int.__add__, 1 )
With mul:
>>> tuple( map( x( int.__mul__, 2, ), y ) )
(600, 800)
It's like partial, but the argument addition is commuted. The key is
that 'y' is going in the first slot, as 'self'. It's not clear that
argument addition commution applies (matches, is correct, generalizes
with right meaning): you just want the first parameter to come from a
separate call. Other uses cases of the generalizer might not align.
+ a fraction on 'x'.
Floats get harder, since you're looking at composition.
>>> tuple( map( compose( float, x( float.__mul__, 1/ 2.5 ) ), y ) )
(120.0, 160.0) # (160, 120)
+1 compose.
def compose( *f ):
def post( *ar, **kw ):
if len( f )> 1:
return f[0]( compose( *f[1:] )( *ar, **kw ) )
return f[0]( *ar, **kw )
return post
