I have an objection to this: "def" is short for define, and a lambda does not produce a definition. This isn't just about saving keystrokes, and even if it were, saving only three would not be worth it for a syntax that is just as confusing as the existing one. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/DQA6G2AWX3TCAKCOTC3JPGX66S772JPK/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
