neither did the lambda, yours truly supposes?

what 'bout, well , this?
tag_handler = { 
"span": 
lambda content: content, 
"div": 
lambda content: 
"\n"+content+"\n", 
"p": 
  lambda content: "\n"+content+"\n", 
"br": 
 lambda content: "\n", 
} 

yours truly is trying to convey the actual fact that python could already be 
untidy; what has kept the language tidy so far is partly because moral 
developers 
(the syntax being another half)

yours truly will hence think the proposition won't be directly untidifying the 
syntax -- much in the sense that not-caring-for-ws-in-"{" won't.

it is simply a matter of convenience:


def a(): 
  print( "gvr" )
func(a);

or

func( def():
   print("gvr")
)

it would be great if others could further share their opinions

reasonable, but I don't like the close parens on the same line; even

thanks, bu what exactly do you find unlikeable in this syntax? the ")" is no 
new syntax, but simply a match for a previous "("; and you can put it anywhere 
because the "(" contents are space-insensitive: 
  
this would be a syntax error: 
a = def(): 
   print("gvr") 

this too: 
a = def(): 
  print("anon") 

but not this: 
a = (def(): 
   print("no") 
) 

neither this: 
a = (def(): 
   print("d")) 

nor this: 
a = (def(): 
print( "no" ) 


) 

we're all grown-ups, aren't we? if we wanted to mess the syntax up then "(" 
alone would have let us do obscene things like:

if (a
==
 b): gvr()

or

a =(1, 2
  5



)

and we also could fiddle with an instance's (or class's) intendedly private 
members (no pun) but 

did we ever do?

yours truly would be glad to know your thoughts on this

proposed syntax for multiline anony-functions (hopefully?)

Hi, just wanting to do a shot in the dark,but maybe this syntax is Pythonic (in 
a "we-are-all-grown-ups" fashion, ahem)enough to get its way into the language
this is what yours truly thinks: don't we all know that ":" means the next 
token must be an indent (mostly)? and doesn't the "(" and its alikes, [ and } 
begin an space-insensitive lexing context? so all we need is having an 
"space-sensitivity-stack" and the corresponding "(" counting stack and this way 
we could match opening and closing "()" and pop the space-sensitivity-stack 
whenever the "(" counting stack gets a 0 at the top:

def doFunc(func): return func()
doFunc(def(): 
   print( "anon" )
   return "gvr") #this ")" will try to decrease the "(" -matching stak's top, 
but this is a zero(there is no "(" to be matchd in the current context) so this 
will pop the "(" stack and also the space sensitivity stack till a non-zero 
value gets in top of "("-matching stac
