title: Is there a built-in product() in Python?
body: <p>I've been looking through a tutorial and book but I can find no mention of a built in product function i.e. of the same type as sum(), but I could not find anything such as <code>prod()</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Is the only way I could find the product of items in a list by importing the <code>mul()</code> operator?</p>
