Sorry to interrupt, but wouldn't lambda in Python be considered as
'anonymous functions'?
I believe "full" anonymous functions was intended by the author.
lambdas are limited to a single expression.
Yes, and they're limited to a single *expression*, so before Python 3,
lambda: print "foo" is out. Likewise, it isn't possible to have an if/
else statement within a lambda (though a ternary is ok), or a with, …
since Python statements aren't expressions.
