Did you try UnaryFnSequence(square, [2,3,4])? You'll get a surprising 
result:

((0,0), (1,1), (2,4))

This is the culprit... You take a list of N elements, and then you 
loop over *a range 0..N-1*... rather than the list! Try replacing the

  for x in range(len(self)):

with

  for x in self._inputs:

This might do what you intended. ^_^

Hope this helps,
