Getting index of item while processing a list using map in python

Question

While processing a list using map(), I want to access index of the item while inside lambda. How can I do that?

For example

ranked_users = [\'jon\',\         


        

Answer 1

Actually here is a more elegant, verbose solution than using an enumerate tuple in the map (because of tuple indexing). Map can take more iterables as arguments so let's use it.

map(lambda user, user_id: (user_id, user), ranked_users, range(ranked_users.__len__()))
