OK.

I don't follow, you seem to be missing a lot of numbers. For example 3^2 = 9
which is odd as well.

print X = Y is a syntax error. Why do you need the 2'nd part.
In general, we're moving to list/generator comperhension over map/filter.
Something like:
print(sum(x*x for x in xrange(10**6) if (x*x)%2))
