"let x = v in e" really is (lambda x:e)(v) In your case: [ (lambda na,ti : somefunc(ti[1],ti[2],ti[6],na))(name,localtime(then)) for then,name in mylist ] Warning: absolutely untested (not even syntax-checked). You may also use *localtime(...) and keep underscores. -- Alain. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
