or
mapped = map(lambda x: x+1, raw)

You can add parameters to both functions to specify
sort characteristics, for example:
raw2 = [(1,'p'),(2,'e'),(3,'r'),(4,'l')]
lexical = sorted(raw2,key=lambda t:t[1])
You can use the interpreter to find out some of this
by using the help() function
help([]) # help on all list methods
help([].sort) # help on the sort method
There are also some modules that might be of interest
to you such as itertools and functools.
You might also find the Functional Programming
topic in my tutorial useful (see below).
