zip is even faster on my computer: >> timeit map(lambda x:x[0], bounds) 100000 loops, best of 3: 5.48 µs per loop >> timeit [x[0] for x in bounds] 100000 loops, best of 3: 2.69 µs per loop >> timeit a, b = zip(*bounds) 100000 loops, best of 3: 2.57 µs per loop _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
