Just in case, a few years back I've seen an article on functional programming in python. Mostly arithmetic but the patterns were very pretty (think Euclid algorithm generalized). I never managed to find it again. If that rings a bell to someone, I'll be forever virtually indebted.

Don't think this is the one you're thinking of, but I do like Mary Rose Cook's intro to fp using Python:

Indeed, this is quite newer, and a gradual introduction to FP idioms (with good successes).

Mine wasn't introductory and just threw out ways to decompose the problem into counter intuitive (think ~monad) blocks.

I'll edit my post to list those I've found so far. Thanks a lot anyway.
