Aug. 8, 2013


      py.user added the comment:
...
This would require you to provide at least two elements
I see
how about "def repeatfunc(func, *args, times=None):" ?
...
...
...
from itertools import starmap, repeat
def repeatfunc(func, *args, times=None):
...     """Repeat calls to func with specified arguments.
... 
...     Example:  repeatfunc(random.random)
...     """
...     if times is None:
...         return starmap(func, repeat(args))
...     return starmap(func, repeat(args, times))
... 
def f(*args):
...     print(args)
... 
r = repeatfunc(f, 1, 2)
next(r)
(1, 2)
next(r)
(1, 2)
next(r)
(1, 2)
r = repeatfunc(f, 1, 2, times=1)
next(r)
(1, 2)
next(r)
Traceback (most recent call last):
