Reduce just intersperses an operator over a sequence. For example, reduce(operator.add, (a,b,c,d,e)) is a+b+c+d+e. > Won't this be slow because of the double function call on each char? I think there's the same number of func calls, one xor per char. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
