Better way to negate a boolean list?

[David Trémouilles]

Thanks to all of you for the prompt answer to my question.

Just a short feedback:
 >>> map(not_, boolean_list)
looks more readable to me
but:
 >>> [not elem for elem in boolean_list]
seems to be slightly faster (ipython timeit results)
(python 2.5.1 MacOS X)

Not a big deal anyway!
Most important for me was to understand the strange "not" behavior.

Thanks again,

David
