That's a feature, not a lack. As a general rule of thumb, if the body of a function is complex enough to require multiple statements, it is probably complex enough to require documentation, testing and a nice name to display in tracebacks. I wish that somebody would do an objective scientific study on the bug density of code using named functions versus anonymous code blocks. My intuition (which is, of course, completely subjective) tells me that code written in languages that allow and encourage anonymous code blocks will have more bugs, simply because coders will be less likely to name and test their functions. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
