Question

I want to create an array with objects, using map function:

class Something:
    def __init__( self, number ):
        ...

def new_object( x ):
    return Something(x)

map( new_object, [1,2,3,4] )

Is there default python syntax equivalent to new_object? something like Something.new(x), that I could pass to map?

(I don’t ask for lambda function, I ask for some built-in class-level function. I just want to avoid this new_object if there is a built-in equivalent)

Answer 1

Straightforwardly:

map( Something, [1,2,3,4] )
