Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to define a loop in a lambda
function....

How to manage the indents ? Example :
s_minus_1 = lambda s : for index in range(0, len(s)) : s[index] = s
[index]-1

You can't use commands in a lambda function, only expressions.  The nearest
thing I can think of to what you want here is to use a list comprehension:

  s_minus_1 = lambda s : [i-1 for i in s]
  my_list = s_minus_1(my_list)

On the other hand, giving a name to an anonymous function rather defeats
the point of it being an *anonymous* function!  What are you actually
trying to do here?  There's almost certainly a better way to do it than
this.
