Interesting; could you post an example of this? Whenever I try to think of that, I come up with unwieldly syntax for the functional case. In purely functional code the results of map/filter/etc would probably be directly used as arguments to other functions, which might make the calls longer than I'd consider pretty. This is especially true with lots of lambda-ing to declare temporary expressions. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
