Python Map in Class functions

Question

Very simple

I have this:

for i in self.Abilities:
    i.OnTimer(amount)

Can i have something like this instead?

map(Ability.OnTimer,self.Abilities,amount)

I want to use map with class functions but i can't get it to work.

You should use map to calculate a list of values, not for its side effects. If you're performing a sequence of actions, it's more readable to use the for loop. People will more easily understand the intent of your code.

You could use functools.partial to provide arguments to a function before calling it:

from functools import partial

map(partial(Ability.OnTimer, amount = amount), self.Abilities)

But do you really think this would be more readable? And mind that map is lazy in Python 3!
