Using map() in Python 3

A: python 2.6:

>>> map(chr,[66,53,0,94])
['B', '5', '\x00', '^']

However, on 3.1, the above returns a map object.

B: python 3.1:

>>> map(chr,[66,53,0,94])
<map object at 0x00AF5570>

To return a list in Python 3 the following should be used:

list(map(chr,[66,53,0,94]))
