Return an iterator that applies *function* to every item of *iterable*,
yielding the results. If additional *iterable* arguments are passed,
*function* must take that many arguments and is applied to the items from all
- iterables in parallel. If one iterable is shorter than another it is assumed
- to be extended with ``None`` items. If *function* is ``None``, the identity
- function is assumed; if there are multiple arguments, :func:`map` returns a
- list consisting of tuples containing the corresponding items from all
- iterables (a kind of transpose operation). The *iterable* arguments may be a
- sequence or any iterable object; the result is always a list.
-
- Note that for only one *iterable* argument, ``map(function, iterable)`` is
- equivalent to the generator expression ``(function(item) for item in
- iterable)`` if *function* is not ``None``.
