Here's another solution:
from functools import partial
funcs = [partial(lambda i, x: x**i, i) for i in range(5)]
Notice that the arguments i and x are defined in the opposite order.
That's because partial only applies positional arguments from the left.
If there was a "right partial" that applies from the right, we could use
the built-in instead:
funcs = [rpartial(pow, i) for i in range(5)]
I don't think anyone has suggested this yet:
funcs = [(lambda i: lambda x: x**i)(i) for i in range(5)]
It's a bit more opaque than other solutions, but it fits in one line and
avoids defining functions with an implicit second argument, if that's
desirable for some reason.
