[ANN] functional 0.5 released

[Collin Winter]

Hello all,

I have released version 0.5 of my functional module, a collection of
higher-order and functional programming tools for Python. Currently
offered are tools for function composition, partial function
application, plus flip, foldl, foldr, scanl and scanr functions.

Two version of the release are available: one is written in pure
Python and aims for maximum readability and portability. The other is
coded as a C extension module and is focused on raw performance.

Where to get it:
#########

functional is available at

http://oakwinter.com/code/functional/

and from the Python Package Index at

http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/functional.

Both source tarballs and Python Eggs are available for both the pure
Python and C releases. I'm open to user-contributed RPM, Deb or other
packagings.

Release Notes
########

The biggest news in this release is the addition of the C
implementation. Also, a number of functions were removed, as I had
unknowingly duplicated a lot of functionality from the itertools
module.

As always, feedback welcome!
