Let's look in more detail at built-in functions often used with iterators.
Two of Python's built-in functions, :func:`map` and :func:`filter`, are somewhat
obsolete; they duplicate the features of list comprehensions but return actual
lists instead of iterators.
Two of Python's built-in functions, :func:`map` and :func:`filter` duplicate the
features of generator expressions:
``map(f, iterA, iterB, ...)`` returns a list containing ``f(iterA[0], iterB[0]),
f(iterA[1], iterB[1]), f(iterA[2], iterB[2]), ...``.
``map(f, iterA, iterB, ...)`` returns an iterator over the sequence
``f(iterA[0], iterB[0]), f(iterA[1], iterB[1]), f(iterA[2], iterB[2]), ...``.
::
def upper(s):
return s.upper()
map(upper, ['sentence', 'fragment']) =>
list(map(upper, ['sentence', 'fragment'])) =>
['SENTENCE', 'FRAGMENT']
[upper(s) for s in ['sentence', 'fragment']] =>
list(upper(s) for s in ['sentence', 'fragment']) =>
['SENTENCE', 'FRAGMENT']
As shown above, you can achieve the same effect with a list comprehension. The
:func:`itertools.imap` function does the same thing but can handle infinite
iterators; it'll be discussed later, in the section on the :mod:`itertools` module.
You can of course achieve the same effect with a list comprehension.
``filter(predicate, iter)`` returns a list that contains all the sequence
elements that meet a certain condition, and is similarly duplicated by list
``filter(predicate, iter)`` returns an iterator over all the sequence elements
that meet a certain condition, and is similarly duplicated by list
comprehensions. A **predicate** is a function that returns the truth value of
some condition; for use with :func:`filter`, the predicate must take a single
value.

:func:`filter` also has a counterpart in the :mod:`itertools` module,
:func:`itertools.ifilter`, that returns an iterator and can therefore handle
infinite sequences just as :func:`itertools.imap` can.
``reduce(func, iter, [initial_value])`` doesn't have a counterpart in the
:mod:`itertools` module because it cumulatively performs an operation on all the
iterable's elements and therefore can't be applied to infinite iterables.
``func`` must be a function that takes two elements and returns a single value.
:func:`reduce` takes the first two elements A and B returned by the iterator and
calculates ``func(A, B)``. It then requests the third element, C, calculates
``func(func(A, B), C)``, combines this result with the fourth element returned,
and continues until the iterable is exhausted. If the iterable returns no
values at all, a :exc:`TypeError` exception is raised. If the initial value is
supplied, it's used as a starting point and ``func(initial_value, A)`` is the
first calculation.

and B returned by the iterator and calculates ``func(A, B)``. It then requests

If you use :func:`operator.add` with :func:`functools.reduce`, you'll add up all
the elements of the iterable. This case is so common that there's a special
built-in called :func:`sum` to compute it::
