You mean

>>> class P:
...     def __init__(self, x, y):
...             self.x = x
...             self.y = y
...     def __repr__(self):
...             return "Point(x={0.x}, y={0.y})".format(self)
... 
>>> P(1, 2)
Point(x=1, y=2)
>>> _ = lambda c: lambda x: c(*x)
>>> list(map(_(P), zip([1,2,3], [6, 5, 4])))
[Point(x=1, y=6), Point(x=2, y=5), Point(x=3, y=4)]

? While the obvious approach would be

>>> [P(*args) for args in zip([1,2,3], [6, 5, 4])]
[Point(x=1, y=6), Point(x=2, y=5), Point(x=3, y=4)]

there is also itertools.starmap():

>>> from itertools import starmap
>>> list(starmap(P, zip([1,2,3], [6, 5, 4])))
[Point(x=1, y=6), Point(x=2, y=5), Point(x=3, y=4)]
