I agree. lambdas are useful for simple things like "lambda x: x^2" or so. Once you need more than that, you should consider refactoring things into a "plain old function" ;) In general I suppose that is a good idea anyhow to ensure future compatibility. lambdas are to be removed in Py3k IIRC. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
