How about
reduce(lambda counts, day: counts[:day] + [counts[day]+1] + counts[day+1:],
days, [0]*32)
? (reduce is in functools).
Not efficient, but sometimes you just want to the job done.
More efficient would be:
def inc_day(counts, day): counts[day] += 1; return counts
reduce(inc_day, days, [0]*32)
For experts here: why can't I write a lambda that has a statement in it
(actually I wanted two: lambda l, i: l[i] += 1; return l)?
