I have a function that looks like this:
def myFunct(arg1=None,arg2=None,arg3=None):
pass
I would like to use that function with a map function but with argument 1 and 3 only. idea would be:
map(myFunct,list_arg1,list_arg3)
so each of the call would be myFunct(value1,arg3=value3)
How could I achieve that ?
You could use lambda to map the arguments to your keyword arguments.
def foo(arg1=None, arg2=None, arg3=None):
return arg1 + arg3
list1 = [3, 4, 5]
list2 = [5, 6, 7]
print(list(map(lambda x, y: foo(arg1=x, arg3=y), list1, list2)))
Another approach is to keep your function as is and modify what you are mapping over:
from itertools import repeat
def f(x = 0, y = 0, z = 0):
return sum((x,y,z))
map(f,range(1,10),repeat(0),range(21,30))
Although from a readability point of view, a simple generator expression might be preferable to any solution based on map, something along the lines of:
f(x = i,z = j) for i,j in zip(range(1,10),range(21,30)))
