See Fredrik's post. There's no error in the expression with map(),
it's just less effective than a LC, but only if used with a
lambda.

That's another issue. I'd suggest a bug in pylint. (You probably
have a variable called "x" later in the file.

My version of pylint (0.12.1) doesn't show this "error".
