That's the first I heard of that change. I guess it makes some sense, however it is a bit weird, right now I use imap when I want an iterator and use map when I explicitly want a list. Maybe they can add something like "lmap" to return a list, as an alternative to list(map( ... )) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
