<p>Hi Iain,<br /></p>
<p>We were chatting about functional programming in Python last night.<br /></p>
<p>I sat through a presentation on functional Python last autumn. I let it wash over me a bit, but I don't recall thinking that anything basic was missing.<br /></p>
<p>I've looked up a couple of links. Python certainly regards itself as having good functional capabilities:<br /></p>
<p>http://www.oreilly.com/programming/free/functional-programming-python.csp<br />https://docs.python.org/2/howto/functional.html<br />http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-prog/<br /><a href="http://kachayev.github.io/talks/uapycon2012/#/">http://kachayev.github.io/talks/uapycon2012/#/</a><br /></p>
<p>On a related note, Perlude was mentioned in one of the blogs a few weeks ago. I haven't played with it, but I've looked it up on CPAN and its functional approach to lists handling seems interesting.<br /></p>
<p>All the best.<br /></p>
