If you're trying to learn functional programming, maybe you should use
a functional language like Haskell or Scheme.  But anyway you might be
thinking of something like:

def f(n):
   def mseq(n):
      while n > 0:
         n,a = divmod(n, 26)
         yield a
   return list(mseq(n))

The above is not really "functional", but it's a reasonably natural
Python style, at least for me.
