You want to use map and lamdda. This works on your list:
map(lambda x: x.replace('\n',''), MyList)
Also remember that Strings have their own replace method, so
if you don't really need to do a regular expression substitution
then String.replace() is faster.
I always thought lambda expression were hard to read
(mainly I think 'lambda' is an obscure name for most
non-computer science majors) , but at any rate it is a
useful syntax to learn.
Yours,
Noah
