I actually avoid map. map works as intended; there's nothing particularly wrong with it. In fact I believe it's pretty important in lisp, but it's a rather glaring example of TMTOWTDI in Python. BTW, I believe in Python 2.x map is like a list comprehension, but in 3.x map is like a generator expression. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
