Most of the operator module is functional versions of what can be done elsewhere with operators. They're not generally needed unless you specifically need a function, such as for a map() call: >>> a=[1,2,3,4,5] >>> b=[50,40,30,20,10] >>> list(map(operator.add,a,b)) [51, 42, 33, 24, 15] (The list() call is unnecessary in Python 2, but means this will also work in Python 3.)
