map(itemgetter('name'),stooges) ['moe', 'larry', 'curly'] If I saw this I would have to think a lot harder before I figured what it meant. (Especially without the output example.) And this is not true in Python 3. <map object at 0xb747970c> map returns a generator in Python 3.
Yes, yes. I opened a Python 2 shell to write the example code. Python 2 is still the default in most (all?) Linux distributions. To get a list from that just wrap list() around it.
I consider this behaviour (that map returns a generator) in fact superior to what's available in other languages. You can then pass that to whatever constructor you like (e.g. set() or tuple()) or take only some of the values and then stop without calculating (and allocating) it all.
