Unpacking variable length list returned from function

Question

Ok so I\'m defining a function that takes a variable number of inputs and clamps each of them

def clamp(*args):
    return [ max(min(arg, 0.8), 0.2) for arg in a         


        

Answer 1

I'm not very conviced but here is an alternative solution

>>> clam = lambda a: max(min(a, 0.8), 0.2)

>>> def clamp(a, *args):
...     if args:
...        return [ clam(arg) for arg in (a,)+args]
...     else:
...        return clam(a)
... 
>>> clamp(123, 123)
[0.8, 0.8]
>>> clamp(123)
0.8
