Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: The only thing special about functions defined with lambda expressions rather than def statements is the generic name attribute '<lambda>' instead of a specific name. PEP8 intentionally and properly discourages 'name = lambda ...' as inferior to 'def name(...'.
For your example, async def foo(a, b): return 5 + await bar(b) For inline function expressions, as in function calls, the obvious proposals would be to reuse 'async' in f(async lambda a, b: ...) or a new keyword, such as 'alambda' or 'asynclambda' or ... . Either would need multiple use cases to justify not just using async def first. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33447> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
