optimization - Slightly different loops in python / Minimize code -

i want minify rows of code. have 2 loops difference 2 lines. possible (functions or classes) change lines in each occasion? 2 loops are:

cursor = '' while true:     data =  api_like_query(id,cursor)     #more code     in data['data']:         ids_likes += i['id']+' , '     #more code 

and

cursor = '' while true:     data =  api_com_query(id,cursor)     #more code     in data['data']:         ids_likes += i['from']['id']+' , '     #more code 

more code same chunk of code used. difference in function call (line 3) , different dictionary object in line 6.

you can create function quite easily:

def do_stuff(api_func, get_data_func):     cursor = ''     while true:         data = api_func(id, cursor)         #more code         in data['data']:             ids_likes += get_data_func(i) + ', '         #more code 

then first loop can reproduced with:

do_stuff(api_like_query, lambda i: i['id']) 

and second one:

do_stuff(api_come_query, lambda i: i['from']['id']) 

functions made divide code smaller, more testable , reusable pieces, seems appropriate in case.
