map is still a built-in. reduce is moved to functools. I think the only change to map is that instead of returning a list, it returns an iterator. What this means is that Python's functional programming aspect is now lazy, and that's a good thing. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
