Python: Simple for loops

For example you have a piece of code that runs through and performs an operation on each item in a list.

view sourceprint?

1.items = [ 'hello', 'there', 'blah' ]

2. 

3.for i in range(len(items)):

4.items[i] = items[i].replace('e', 'i')

You can turn it into a 1 line wonder by changing it to:

view sourceprint?

1.items = map(lambda x: x.replace('e', 'i'), items)

Or you could just use what triclops mentioned which is MUCH simpler...

view sourceprint?

1.items = [word.replace('e', 'i') for word in items]
