No. Just wanted to naively use one of the base tool Python had to offer. I tought it was very usable and very readable. I might be wrong.
Is there someone on this list using this tool and happy with it ? Or is my mind too much targeted on FP paradigm and most of you really think that all the functions that apply another function to each and every elements of a list are bad (like "reduce", "map", "filter") ?
