Did you notice the function quote() I supplied?

  new_list = [func(x) for x in seq]

is called a list comprehension.  It's just a different way to write this:

  new_list = []
  for x in seq:
    new_list.append(func(x))

Please reply to the list, by the way, since this is all on topic and others
may have more to contribute.

Cheers,
