   Thanks for the link to the functional programming talk. I’d have written the Python examples a bit differently:

   
sum(int(t) for t in expr.split('+') if t)


   
next(name for name in iter(raw_input, None) if name)


   And, yes, we don’t have tail recursion, but this isn’t bad:

   
def fib(N):
a, b = 1, 1
for i in xrange(N):
yield a
a, b = b, a + b
