More likely they will be moved to something like itertools than "__past__".

Or just define them yourself:

def map(f, seq):
        return [f(x) for x in seq]

def filter(p, seq):
    return [x for x in seq if p(x)]

def reduce(f, seq, zero):
    r = zero
    for x in seq: r = f(r, x)
    return r
