I don't think it helps usability much if anonymous functions are allowed multiple statements. IMO greater amounts of code deserve a named function for readability's sake, and the distinction between expressions and suites feels like a good criterion for what is a greater amount of code. In any case, it's the same limit as found in list and generator expressions or the proposed conditional expression. -- Thomas _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
