def cat(x): return x

def multimap(func, s, n=2): assert n > 0, "n must be positive" return (map(func, seq) if n == 1 else map(lambda x: multimap(func, x, n-1), seq)) def multifilter(func, s, n=2): return multimap(lambda x: filter(func, x), s, n-1) def multireduce(func, s, n=2): return multimap(lambda x: reduce(func, x), s, n-1) class nullfunc(object): def call(self, *a, **k): return self _def getattr(self, name): return getattr(None, name)

Could you describe what these functions do? Preferably with examples that demonstrates that they are useful.
