I find it very intuitive, but then again, my years of studying Math may have skewed my intuition. > I would still prefer an expression like a_list.count(a_callable), > which is short, clean, and easy to understand. Did you see my alternative example on this thread? It allows you to use list.count in almost exactly that way, except that instead of passing the callable directly, you pass an object that defers to your callable in its __eq__ method.
