LOL... it's the first time I see someone talking about this module. /me checks the documentation. Yep, looks like this module is deprecated since Python 2.2. > 2) There is no mention of list comprehensions, but map and filter are > taught early and then revisited later.

Urgh. This sucks. Did they mention generators, at least? Sometimes list comprehensions are even faster (I didn't check, but I think this one can be an example of this: [i*2+2 for i in iterator] vs. map(lambda x: x*2 +2, iterator)). They should have taught both. > What do you think?
