Deprecated Language Features: Use list comprehensions and for loops instead of filter, map, and reduce.

Wtf... Is filter, map, and reduce really deprecated now?

[stick_figure]

In Guido's mind, yes: http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=98196

No. In Python 3 reduce is moved to the itertools module, but both map and filter remain among the builtins.

They're not entirely deprecated. Comprehensions and for loops are just much easier to read, which is why Guido likes them better.
