python - How to call same method for a list of objects?

Question

Suppose code like this:

class Base:
    def start(self):
        pass
    def stop(self)
        pass

class A(Base):
    def start(self):
        ... do something for A
    def stop(self)
        .... do something for A

class B(Base):
    def start(self):

    def stop(self):

a1 = A(); a2 = A()
b1 = B(); b2 = B()

all = [a1, b1, b2, a2,.....]

Now I want to call methods start and stop (maybe also others) for each object in the list all. Is there any elegant way for doing this except of writing a bunch of functions like

def start_all(all):
    for item in all:
        item.start()

def stop_all(all):

Answer 1

This will work

all = [a1, b1, b2, a2,.....]

map(lambda x: x.start(),all)    

simple example

all = ["MILK","BREAD","EGGS"]
map(lambda x:x.lower(),all)
>>>['milk','bread','eggs']

and in python3

all = ["MILK","BREAD","EGGS"]
list(map(lambda x:x.lower(),all))
>>>['milk','bread','eggs']
