python list of numbers converted to string incorrectly

Question

For some reason, when I do the code...

def encode():
    result2 = []
    print result  
    for x in result:  
        result2 += str(x)  
    print resul         


        

Answer 1

Using map http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#map

In [2]: input_list = [123, 456, 789]
In [3]: output_list = map(lambda x:str(x), input_list)
In [4]: output_list
Out[5]: ['123', '456', '789']
