Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./map_function.py", line 13, in <module>
name = map(name_split(person1,name),people)
TypeError: 'list' object is not callable

def name_split(person,name):
 
    name = person.split(' ')
 
    return (name)
 
global name
 
name = []
 
people = ['Dr. Christopher Brooks', 'Dr. Kevyn Collins-Thompson', 'Dr. VG Vinod Vydiswaran', 'Dr. Daniel Romero']
 
for person1 in people:
 
    name = map(name_split(name), people)
 
print name

The first argument of map is the function which is called repeatedly with the elements of the iterable. Don't call the function when you pass it to a map function.

def name_split(name):

people = ['Dr. Christopher Brooks', 'Dr. Kevyn Collins-Thompson', 'Dr. VG Vinod Vydiswaran', 'Dr. Daniel Romero']
splitted_names = list(map(name_split, people))
print(splitted_names)
