Hello All,
pluck() is a beautiful function which is in underscore.js library. Described as "A convenient version of what is perhaps the most common use-case for map: extracting a list of property values." http://documentcloud.github.com/underscore/#pluck What about it implementing for python lists? And maybe for other iterables?
Using a generator expression or list comprehension to do this is so easy and readable I don't see why we'd want something new in Python.
