How to disable a built-in command in vim
In vim, when I hit :wq it is almost always an accident that occurred when attempting to input :w. I would like to disable :wq. The closest I found is cmap, but it has some odd behavior.

Python del() built-in can't be used in assignment?
I noticed a problem when I was trying to use del in a lambda to thin out a list of threads to just those running: map(lambda x: del(x) if not x.isAlive() else x, self.threads) Ignore for a second that this doesn't do anything, I'm just fooling around with map, reduce, and lambda.
