The Arduino documentation[0] says that `map' is equivalent to:
long map(long x, long in_min, long in_max, long out_min, long out_max) {
return (x - in_min) * (out_max - out_min) / (in_max - in_min) + out_min;
}
With that in mind, you can almost copy and paste the exact same code in Python
(albeit with floor division, as in Python 3, integer division can yield
floats). Note that `//' is not strictly equivalent to C's integer division,
though.[1]
>>> def arduino_map(x, in_min, in_max, out_min, out_max):
... return (x - in_min) * (out_max - out_min) // (in_max - in_min) +
out_min
...
>>> arduino_map(50, 0, 1023, 0, 100)
