Well, different at least. I find the map one harder to parse mentally.
if you have trouble parsing a function call, I'm glad I don't have to maintain your Python programs...
I don't know what I said to upset you so, but I do apologize.
If you could tell me what it was about my statement (that I find a list comprehension to be a clearer description of program flow than a map application[1]) that so insulted you, I would be glad to avoid such comments in the future, if it would avoid such vicious replies from you.

[1] In my mind, the program flow is spelled out explicitly in the list comprehension and only implicitly in the map application. Thus the list comprehension is clearer to me.
