Have you guys considered the following syntax for anonymous blocks?  I
think it's possible to parse given Python's existing syntax:
  items.doFoo(
      def (a, b) {
          return a + b
      },
      def (c, d) {
          return c + d
      }
  )
There was a proposal in the last few days on comp.lang.python that allows 
you to do this in a way that requires less drastic changes to python's 
syntax.  See the thread "pre-PEP: Suite-Based Keywords" (shamless plug) 
(an earlier, similar proposal is here: 
http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?selm=mailman.403.1105274631.22381.python-list 
%40python.org ).

In short, if doFoo is defined like:
def doFoo(func1, func2):
        pass
You would be able to call it like:
doFoo(**):
        def func1(a, b):
                return a + b
        def func2(c, d):
                return c + d
That is, a suite can be used to define keyword arguments.
