So I guess your "functional programming" enthusiasm doesn't come
from Haskell, who some consider amont the best FP languages -- as
Python got list comprehensions from Haskell, with just little
syntax-sugar changes, I'd expect LOTS of list comprehensions in
Python code written by Haskell-savvy FP fans...!-)
