The example I gave earlier is a bit contrived, the real example
fundamentally requires a lambda since I am actually passing in local
variables into the functions the lambda is wrapping. Example:
funcs = []
for i in xrange(10):
def f(i=i):
print i
funcs.append(f)
for f in funcs:
f()
This is more or less like the real scenario I'm working with. There
are other (more personal) reasons why I prefer to avoid 'def' in this
case. I want to keep the functor as central to the code that needs it
as possible to improve code readability.
Didn't you say the other day you came from C++? Given the galactic
amount of hoops to jump through that language has to offer, typing
def f
instead of the even longe
lambda
strikes me as rather peculiar.
