Hi, Is it possible to something along these lines in python :-
map = { 'key1': f(), 'key2': modify_state(); val = f(); restore_state(); val, 'key3': f(), } For 'key2' I want to store the value returned by f() but after modifying the state. Do we have something like a "bare block". I am trying to avoid this :- def f2(): modify_state() val = f() restore_state() return val map = { 'key1': f(), 'key2': f2() 'key3': f(), } Thank You, Himanshu -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
