here is another solution; it's a bit nearer to the imperative one.  It
uses reduce with a default value (it wil also be a bit faster than the
first one).

def longer2 (ln, seq):
    lns = len(seq)
    if ln > lns: return ln
    else: return lns

def longest2 (seq):
    return reduce(longer2, seq, 0)


I think there is no further explaination necessary.
