<WarpedHumour> I'd like to propose we add '(<expr>) to Python. Pronounced tick- brackets, it surrounds an expression which is compiled into an anonymous function. I have not thought this through apart from knowing that this is one more step towards Lisp heaven and submit no code as the implementation will be trivial ;-) Of course if my suggestion is not welcomed with open arms then this is Pythons last chance to escape terminal decline.... <WeftedHumour> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
