Swap values in a tuple/list inside a list in python?

Question

I have a tuple/list inside a list like this:

[(\'foo\',\'bar\'),(\'foo1\',\'bar1\'),(\'foofoo\',\'barbar\')]

What is the fastest way in pyt

Answer 1

You can use reversed like this:

tuple(reversed((1, 2)) == (2, 1)

To apply it to a list, you can use map or a list comprehension:

map(tuple, map(reversed, tuples))     # map
[tuple(reversed(x)) for x in tuples]  # list comprehension

If you're interested primarily in runtime speed, I can only recommend that you profile the various approaches and pick the fastest.
