I've noticed this section in the tutorial:

    [...], we see that map(None, list1, list2) is a convenient way of
    turning a pair of lists into a list of pairs.  For example:

    >>> map(None, seq, map(square, seq))
    [(0, 0), (1, 1), (2, 4), (3, 9), (4, 16), (5, 25), (6, 36), (7, 49)]

I think the example be changed to use zip() instead, ie:

    >>> zip(seq, map(square, seq))
    [(0, 0), (1, 1), (2, 4), (3, 9), (4, 16), (5, 25), (6, 36), (7, 49)]

Any objections?

  Neil
