Yeah, not surprised you got surprised by that! But the real question is: why do you care about the difference? What is it in your code that cares about whether a function was created with "def" or with "lambda"? My suspicion is that, in most cases, the difference actually *is* the name (for instance, you might identify 'def' functions by name, but 'lambda' functions by identity), so it's not hacky to use the __name__ to distinguish them.
