Why does it have to be a keyword? I like this pair of functions: def do(func, iterable, **kwargs): for x in iterable: func(x, **kwargs) def star(func, iterable, **kwargs): for x in iterable: func(*x, **kwargs) do.star = star del star Here's an example in use: py> do(print, [(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6, 7, 8)], sep='-', end='*\n') (1, 2)* (3, 4)* (5, 6, 7, 8)* py> do.star(print, [(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6, 7, 8)], sep='-', end='*\n') 1-2* 3-4* 5-6-7-8* Customize to your taste, and put them in your own personal toolbox. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
