Or in more recent versions of Python:
bin = lambda x:(('*' if x&8 else '_') +
('*' if x&4 else '_') +
('*' if x&2 else '_') +
('*' if x&1 else '_'))
but seriously, any example of lambda which simply assigns the function to a
variable is flawed.
I can sort of understand the people who object to a named function taking
the logic 'out of line', but any expression which actually requires a
multi-statement function to be embedded in the middle of it is already in
danger of causing my brain to implode.
