Getting a map() to return a list in Python 3.x

Do this:

list(map(chr,[66,53,0,94]))

In Python 3+, many processes that iterate over iterables return iterators themselves. In most cases, this ends up saving memory, and should make things go faster.

If all you’re going to do is iterate over this list eventually, there’s no need to even convert it to a list, because you can still iterate over the map object like so:

# Prints "ABCD"
for ch in map(chr,[65,66,67,68]):
    print(ch)
