Out of curiosity, what would be non-Common-Lisp-style closures?
Cheers,

I understand that a "closure" is something which is typical of functional
programming languages. -- Scheme-style closures, for example.
I don't know Haskell, ML etc. but I do suspect that we could create closures
in those languages as well. Maybe someone more expert than me can help?
I think what Chris asking is: what is the feature of Common-Lisp
closures that Python closures share but other languages don't?
I think what he is implying is that there is no such feature. Python
closures are no more "Common-Lisp-style" than they are "Scheme-style"
or "Smalltalk-like" or any other language-like.
I would say that Python closures are equivalent with Common LISP
closures (except that LAMBDA is more limited in Python, which is a
feature which I don't like.)
Do you maybe mean non-Common-LISP-style closures in Python? I cannot
think of any ones.
kind regards, Andy
