Why map(print, a_list) doesn't work?

Question

For a normal function, map works well:

def increment(n):
    return n+1
l = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
l = map(increment, l)
print l
>>> [2, 3, 4,         


        

Answer 1

A better way to map print in 2.x would be to do

from __future__ import print_function
