I dunno whether functional programming is a suitable topic for beginners, but I do know that there are some kinds of programs that beginners shouldn't be writing. I'm more interested in how well these techniques work for experts, than in how well they work for beginners. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
