Using map() function with keyword arguments

arguments, map-function, python

Solution

Use `functools.partial()`:

from functools import partial

mapfunc = partial(my_function, ip=ip)
map(mapfunc, volume_ids)

`partial()` creates a new callable, that'll apply any arguments (including keyword arguments) to the wrapped function in addition to whatever is being passed to that new callable.

Problem

Here is the loop I am trying to use the `map` function on: ``` volume_ids = [1,2,3,4,5] ip = '172.12.13.122' for volume_id in volume_ids: my_function(volume_id, ip=ip) ``` Is there a way I can do this? It would be trivial if it weren't for the `ip` parameter, but I'm not sure how to deal with that.
