Hi, I cannot find the way to do generic lambda functions using the lambda syntax in python. I am probably missing a point.
For example, the code # f = lambda : print "hello" # f() does not compile, although: # def f(): # print "hello" # f() does compile. Is there a particular syntax for lambda that I am missing or is it simply limited and I cannot do what I want with lambda. In the same spirit, how can I do to compute intermediary values in the body of a lambda function. Let's say (dummy example): f = lambda x : y=x*x,y+y In languages like Caml, you can do: let f = function x -> let y=x*x in y+y;; Does the lambda : syntax in python allow for the same kind of constructs? Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
