Neat I didn't know\ that. How dioes Python equate a function object to a type? Is it hard wired? > >>> [(type(x)==int and float(x) or x) for x in l] >['foo', 0] > >>> # notice that 0 is still an int, not a float > >>> [(type(x)==int and [float(x)] or [x])[0] for x in l] >['foo', 0.0] > >>> # ok, that's better And a nice subtle catch.
