[Python-ideas] Re: Enhancing iterator objects with map, filter, reduce methods

One example was a proposal a while back on this list for a "groupby" in itertools (it kind of withered on the vine, like many good ideas here), I suggested that it be made comprehension friendly, and some others including the OP) didn't see the point. Maybe that's not representative, but it's a trend I've noticed.

I liked Michael Selik's idea. But I think there were a few edge cases where you, and I, and Mike, and others, each had sightly different ideas of best behavior. I don't really make much of the fact that no one actually got as far as a PEP (both Mike and I had changing job situations during that discussion period, I happen to know because I know him outside this list).
