Python set to list

Question

How can I convert a set to a list in Python? Using

a = set([\"Blah\", \"Hello\"])
a = list(a)

doesn\'t work. It gives me:

Answer 1

Try using combination of map and lambda functions:

aList = map( lambda x: x, set ([1, 2, 6, 9, 0]) )

It is very convenient approach if you have a set of numbers in string and you want to convert it to list of integers:

aList = map( lambda x: int(x), set (['1', '2', '3', '7', '12']) )
