Isn't "map(str, x)" just a second way to write "[str(x) for x in y]"? This "second way" argument is another often-heard bogon. There are lots of second-way and third-way techniques in Python, and properly so. It's more important to make things work consistently than to only have "one way". "sum" should concatenate strings.
