I'm a mathematician, so understand your concerns. Here's what I hope
is a helpful suggestion.
Create a module, say sage.itertools that contains (not tested)
def py2map(iterable):
return list(map(iterable))
The porting to Python 3 (for map) is now reduced to writing
from .itertools import py2map as map
at the head of each module.
Please let me know if this helps.
