I think that the keyword do would solve problems that occur when people want a simple way to run a command over an iterable but they dont want to store the data.
Why does it have to be a keyword?
I like this pair of functions:
def do(func, iterable, **kwargs): for x in iterable: func(x, **kwargs)
def star(func, iterable, **kwargs): for x in iterable: func(*x, **kwargs)
do.star = star del star
Here's an example in use:
py> do(print, [(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6, 7, 8)], sep='-', end='*\n') (1, 2)* (3, 4)* (5, 6, 7, 8)* py> do.star(print, [(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6, 7, 8)], sep='-', end='*\n') 1-2* 3-4* 5-6-7-8*
Customize to your taste, and put them in your own personal toolbox.
