functional.py - functional programming in Python

[Bryn Keller]

functional.py provides support for a functional style of Python
programming.

It includes support for closures, curried functions, lazy expressions,
lazy tuples
(functional programming languages call these lazy lists, but since lists
are
mutable in Python, tuples are closer in meaning), and lazy equivalents
for map,
filter, reduce, and zip. Also some higher-order functions for composing
functions and such.

functional.py is released under the GNU LGPL, and is available on
SourceForge at:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/xoltar-toolkit/

I have tried to provide a wide range of the tools that a more functional
style of Python
programming might need, if there are any glaring oversights, please let
me know.
