How do I apply a method or function to a sequence of objects?
-------------------------------------------------------------

Use a list comprehension::
To call a method or function and accumulate the return values is a list,
a :term:`list comprehension` is an elegant solution::

result = [obj.method() for obj in mylist]

result = [function(obj) for obj in mylist]

a plain :keyword:`for` loop will suffice::

for obj in mylist:
obj.method()

for obj in mylist:
function(obj)
