Go to http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python and search for "fizz  
buzz"...

You can translate that into a list comprehension - in general, map(f,  
items) is the same as [f(x) for x in items]. We have then:

[(not x%3 and not x%5 and "FizzBuzz") or (not x%3 and "Fizz") or (not x%5  
and "Buzz") or x for x in xrange(1,101)]

Quite unreadable IMHO. Just to add another variant to the zillion ones  
already posted:

def fb(x):
   mult3 = x%3 == 0
   mult5 = x%5 == 0
   if mult3 and mult5: return "FizzBuzz"
   elif mult3: return "Fizz"
   elif mult5: return "Buzz"
   return str(x)

[fb(x) for x in range(1,101)]
