:: Functional composition is, in fact, and fortunately, simply one of the ways in which Python is actually used. That is why map, filter and reduce entered the language, and that is why Guido simply failed, in the end, to expunge them, despite his strongest and most truculent efforts. UseComposition of pure functions has a higher entry barrier – it requires more concepts – but it yields more reliability, reduced debugging time, and greater code reuse. It is absolutely the right way to write good Python for some contexts, and for some users, and there is no value whatsoever in trying to shoe-horn real Python code (officiously, and frankly, somewhat ignorantly) into the residual shackles and deficiencies which Guido rather perversely and self-absorbedly sought to put in the way of composing pure functions, against the grain of the needs and better judgement of the Python community as a whole.
