How to remove a string within a list item in python

Question

On a project I am currently getting returned a list as follows:

[u'40620', u'00700', u'24150', u'11700']

How can I edit the list so it is returned just integer values:

[40620, 00700, 24150, 11700]

Thanks!

>>> lst = [u'40620', u'00700', u'24150', u'11700']
>>> [int(x) for x in lst]
[40620, 700, 24150, 11700]
>>>

The Py3 example would work in Python 2 as well, and is recommended

@michel-slm - Eh, why not. I'll let Cygwinnian have the map solution. :)

Simple one liner:

results = map(int, results)
