For those of you still scratching your heads, there's a version issue here as well.
Since I teach 3.x for a living, these little difference are in my face all the time. More from FaceBook: Steve Holden: Zip() not a function? Where on Earth did you get that strange story from? It may return an iterator, but that doesn't mean it's not a function ... Me: I just mean it's neither of <class 'function'> nor <class 'builtin_function_or_method'>. zip is now a type, like int, str, list, tuple etc. -- none of which are functions either. Talking Python 3. You're likely thinking of 2.7: >>> type(zip) # 3.2 <class 'type'> >>> type(zip) # 2.7 <type 'builtin_function_or_method'> Also, I've clued our peers on the math board (listserv) for those wishing to understand our "namespaces" better. Same thread as before. > http://mathforum.org/kb/thread.jspa?threadID=2592483 > > Kirby > >
