Your reasoning is flawed. There is no such thing in Python as a “lambda function”. Python has functions. It doesn't matter whether you use a ‘lambda’ or ‘def’ statement to create it, there's no resulting difference in the type of the object. It is a function. So: you make a class with a ‘class’ statement; you make a function using either a ‘def’ statement or a ‘lambda’ expression. There is no third type of object being discussed here. -- \ “Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the | `\ occurrence of the improbable.” —Henry L.
