title: Python's equivalent of C# LINQ's select
body: <p><br/>
  I'm quite new to python, and happen to have used C# for some time now. I saw that there was a filter method to use with the collections, which seems to be the equivalent of the LINQ's where clause.<br/>
  I wondered, is there also an equivalent for the LINQ's select statement in python? <br>
  Example: <code>my_collection.select(my_object =&gt; my_object.my_property)</code> would return a collection of the my_property of each object in my_collection.</p>
