Speaking of Py3k: map no longer builds lists. What once was map is no
more, what once was itertools.imap is now map.

Sometimes Py2.x map is useful, sometimes list comprehension is nicer.
Sometimes Py3.x map / Py2.x itertools.imap is useful, sometimes
generator expressions are more elegant.



Same goes for filter, by the way.
