what do you mean by one line ? Using map/filter, I believe it is possible. Somthing like: map(lambda (s,f): os.path.exists(f) and f or s, map(lambda x: (x, re.replace(x, -s,)), imgPaths) My regex is a bit rusty but I hope you got the idea of what I am trying to do. If there is a way to make

Thanks. Here's how the inner loop should be: imgPaths2=map(lambda x: (x, re.sub( r^(.+?)-s(\.[^.]+)$,r\1\2, x)), imgPaths) though, now i just need something like map( lambda x: os.path.exists(s)? x[1]:x[0],impPaths2) but Pyhton doesn't support the test ? trueResult : falseResult construct.
