I'm truly baffled by how insane the `map/reduce/filter` iterator API for #Python is. Most languages, even JavaScript, have some sort of "other_list = the_list.map().filter()" API. Except Python (and PHP?).
Now, I can imagine that a language that primarily deals with string manipulation or DOM management or so, to have a crappy API for handling large lists of data. But python's entire success comes from "handleing large lists of data", yet the tools to do so are infuriating.

@berkes I'm fairly certain Python has this, but before i go figure out the exact syntax I want to understand your ask a bit better. Are you saying the functionality doesnt exist at all, or simply that you cant chain them together and they need to be on seperate lines, or something else I'm missing?
Python does have the functions though:
filter(other_func, map(the_func, the_list))
That should be roughly the same as what you asked for... Are you just complaining about the syntax, seems functionally pretty interchangable.
@freemo I was referring to that. The insanity being that they are global functions and not something you call on a iterator like every other language has.
