Yes, but here you still have to look up the name 'f' from locals in each iteration. map is written in C, once it has as PyObject* to the callable it does not need to look up the name anymore. The dictionary lookup(s) to get the callable is done just once. map is also more thread-safe. During the iteration another thread could rebind the name of the callable, but map is impervious to that.
