Can Python's map function call object member functions?

Question

I need to do something that is functionally equivalent to this:

for foo in foos:
    bar = foo.get_bar()
    # Do something with bar

This modified code will work:

for bar in map(lambda f: f.get_bar(), foos):
# Do something with bar

You provide lambda function here. Simply providing get_bar doesn't work because it is accessible only through an instance of class (f.get_bar()), never by itself.
