A list is not a function

[laserlab]

I just want to clarify that a list is a data type in Python and not a function.

so this:

list(map(lambda x: x+1))

does not return a function.

Can list comprehension be thought of as a function?

More interestingly, what about a dictionary? It assigns a value to every key, so in the mathematical sense, it is a function, but do we consider it a function here?
