Here is some heretical advice:
Do not use stuff like map and reduce unless they fit what you want to do
perfectly, and "JustWorks" the first time.
You have a very clear idea of what you want to do, so why do you not just
simply write something to do it?
something like this (untested):
def woofer(thefunc,thelist,thething):
theanswers = []
for x in thelist:
theanswers.append(thefunc(x,thething))
return theanswers
And the advantage is that you do not have to remember what map does...
