Indeed; but we also have anonymous functions:
lambda arg: expression
Technically all functions created with lambda do have a __name__ attribute,
but since they're all the same, its the next best thing to anonymity.
We can even have anonymous classes and modules:
py> T = type('', (object,), {})
py> T
<class '__main__.'>
py> from types import ModuleType
py> m = ModuleType('', '')
py> m
<module ''>
