parameters to lambda's executed at run time.

[wyleu]

I'm trying to supply parameters to a function that is called at a
later time as in the code below:

llist = []

for item in range(5):
    llist.append(lambda: func(item))

def func(item):
    print item

for thing in llist:
    thing()

which produces the result

IDLE 1.2.1
>>> ================================ RESTART ================================
>>>
<function <lambda> at 0xb716356c>
<function <lambda> at 0xb71635a4>
<function <lambda> at 0xb71635dc>
<function <lambda> at 0xb7163614>
<function <lambda> at 0xb716364c>
>>> ================================ RESTART ================================
>>>
4
4
4
4
4
>>>

How can one allocate a different parameter to each instance of the
function rather than all of them getting the final value of the loop?
