python array_walk() alternative

i have a list that looks like this:

list = [1,2,3,4]

I would like to add 12 to each value. In PHP you can use array_walk to process each item in the array. Is there a similar function or easier way than doing a for loop such as:

for i in list:

Thanks

Use list comprehensions. Try this:

list = [i+12 for i in list]

my_list = [e+12 for e in my_list]

or:

for i in range(len(my_list)):
    my_list[i] += 12

alist = map(lambda i: i + 12, alist)

Update: @Daenyth says in the comments that this is slower than a list comprehension because of the function call overhead of using lambda. It looks like they're right, here are the stats from my machine (Macbook Air, 1.6GHz Core Duo, 4GB, Python 2.6.1):

Script:

import hotshot, hotshot.stats

def list_comp(alist):
    return [x + 12 for x in alist]

def list_map(alist):
    return map(lambda x: x + 12, alist)

def run_funcs():
    alist = [1] * 1000000
    result = list_comp(alist)
    result = list_map(alist)


prof = hotshot.Profile('list-manip.prof')
result = prof.runcall(run_funcs)

stats = hotshot.stats.load('list-manip.prof')
stats.strip_dirs()
stats.sort_stats('time', 'calls')
stats.print_stats()
