Hello, I'd like to apply a function to elements of a nested list and wondered if there is anything more idiomatic and/or shorter than this recursive way:
>>> def recur_map(f, data): ... if isinstance(data, list): ... mapped_list = [] ... for i in data: ... mapped_list.append(recur_map(f, i)) ... return mapped_list ... else: ... return f(data) ... >>> recur_map(lambda x: x*2, [[1, 2], 3, 4, [5, 6, [7, 8]]]) [[2, 4], 6, 8, [10, 12, [14, 16]]] Thanks, alex -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
