Functional Programming In Python

BillyBob writes: "I Came accross this cool article about Functional programming in Python that demonstrates several intermediate and advanced FP concepts. The author uses Bryn Keller's 'Xoltar Toolkit' which provide valuable assistance. Keller has collected many of the strengths of FP into a nice little module containing pure Python implementations of the techniques. This is definitely worth examining for a Python programmer seeking to continue the exploration of functional paradigms."
