More Pythonic Way to Run a Process X Times

Question

Which is more pythonic?

While loop:

count = 0
while count < 50:
    print \"Some thing\"
    count = count + 1

Answer 1

There is not a really pythonic way of repeating something. However, it is a better way:

map(lambda index:do_something(), xrange(10))

If you need to pass the index then:

map(lambda index:do_something(index), xrange(10))

Consider that it returns the results as a collection. So, if you need to collect the results it can help.
