Ah. :))
Why does the "print" statement return a syntax error here?
>>> lambda: print("hallo")
File "<stdin>", line 1
lambda: print("hallo")
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Unfortunately I want to assign a handler function to an object and something
like this does not work:
>>> class Foobar(object): pass
...
>>> a = Foobar()
>>> def a.handler():
File "<stdin>", line 1
def a.handler():
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
But wrapping print into a myprint function works :)
Thanks,
Ciao
