# put this in your site.py or whatever so it's always available
def scope(f): return f()
# then do this
@scope
def THING():
part1 = (some calculation)
part2 = (some other calculation)
return combine(part1, part2)
It's better than multiline lambda, and has all the benefits of a
nested scope. It doesn't leave the function lying around - it reuses
the name for the value the function returns.
