One other thought: The use of list comprehensions (a.k.a. list displays) and generator expressions has made many functional tools less necessary than ever. # preferred over map(pow, repeat(2), range(5)) [pow(2, x) for x in range(5)] # preferred over map(flip, dict.items()) [(v, k) for k, v in mydict.items()] The list comprehension and genexp styles are much more flexible and works well with default arguments, constants, and using a combination of features: # hard to do with functionals [f(g(2,x), h(x, 3, y, flag=True)) for x, y in zip(X, Y) if x>y//2] ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11011> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
