Python functional programming snippets

Question

I've seen some elegant python snippets using list comprehension and map reduce. Can you share some of these code or a web site.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Python is not lisp. Please don't try to make it look that way. It only reduces one of python's biggest strengths, which is its readability and understandability later on.

If you like functional programming, learn Haskell, ML, or F#. You will be amazed at what those languages offer (pure functions to start with).
