From: Guido van Rossum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

...

This reflects a style pattern that I've come to appreciate more
recently: when breaking a call with a long argument list to fit on
your screen, instead of trying to find the optimal break points in the
argument list, take one or two of the longest arguments and put them
in local variables.


...

If we apply this to the anonymous block problem, we may end up finding
lambda the ultimate compromise -- like a gentleman in the back of my
talk last week at baypiggies observed (unfortunately I don't know his
name).


I like it:
