I'm very sorry that there is no good use case for the "reduce" function in Python, like Peter Otten pretends. That's an otherwise very useful tool for many use cases. At least on paper.
Clarity aside[1], can you give an example of where reduce is as efficient as the eqivalent loop in Python?

[1] I generally find most reduce solutions much harder to read, but we'll set aside my personal limitations for the moment. ;)
