Thanks for the reply. I thought it was probably something like that with
the tests I've done. I was reading a book that said I could do it, but
it's a bit old (for Python 2.1). I only really use it for a reference.
So I've implemented what I wanted through lambda, which works perfectly
well. Thanks for your help!
