So, I think I understand what python's scoping is doing in the following situation: >>> x = [ lambda: ind for ind in range(10) ] >>> x [<function <lambda> at 0x00BEC070>, <function <lambda> at 0x00BEC7F0>, <function <lambda> at 0x00BECA70>, <function <lambda> at 0x00C1EBF0>, <function <lambda> at 0x00C1EE30>, <function <lambda> at 0x00C228F0>, <function <lambda> at 0x00C228B0>, <function <lambda> at 0x00C28730>, <function <lambda> at 0x00C286F0>, <function <lambda> at 0x00C287F0>] >>> x[0]() 9 >>> x[5]() 9 >>> x[9]() 9 >>> ind 9 >>> ind = 2 >>> x[0]() 2 >>>
But, I'm wondering what is the easiest (and/or most pythonic) way to get the behavior I want? (If you haven't guessed, I want a list of (no parameter) functions, each of which returns its index in the list.) -Dan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
