Personally, I think something like this is a place where lambdas are 
probably better than named functions. Still, you can do this without 
lambdas:

def compose(list_of_functions):
     def compose2(f, g):
         def func(x):
             return f(g(x))
         return func
     return reduce(compose2, list_of_functions)

Whether this is better or not, I don't know.
