In Python 3, the map function returns a map object, which is an 
iterable, not a list. You can iterate over it - which is the usual 
operation - but not otherwise do much with it. You will have to create a 
list out of the result of mapping (we could argue that SCons' logic 
should accept any iterable here but that's a different story).

 >>> x = [1, 2, 3]
 >>> y = map(str, x)
 >>> print(y)
<map object at 0x7ff5e5590d00>
 >>> print(list(y))
['1', '2', '3']


So probably this will help:

newTargets = list(map(tarInfoToNode, tarFileContents))
