Hi, there.

'lines' is a large list of strings each of which is seperated by '\t'
lines = ['bla\tbla\tblah', 'bh\tb\tb', ... ]

I wanna split each string into a list. For speed, using map() instead
of 'for' loop.

Try this. Not sure how it stacks up for speed, though. (As others have
suggested, if 'for' loop is giving you speed heartburn, use a list
comprehension.)

In this case, splitUsing is called only once, to create the embedded
function tmp. tmp is the function that split will call once per list item,
using whatever characters were specified in the call to splitUsing.

data = [
"sldjflsdfj\tlsjdlj\tlkjsdlkfj",
"lsdjflsjd\tlsjdlfdj\tlskjdflkj",
"lskdjfl\tlskdjflj\tlskdlfkjsd",
]

def splitUsing(chars):
def tmp(s):
return s.split(chars)
return tmp

for d in map(splitUsing('\t'), data):
print d
