Now if we call exit_error(), sys.exit(1) gets called. Or, if we call
exit_error(foo), that expands to sys.exit(1, foo).
No sure this is the right place where to discuss this, but the above
sounds a lot like function currying which one usually finds in
functionnal languages. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currying
There are recipes on ActiveState:

I do agree that lambda is a bit of a
bastardization, because it only allows basic expressions, and I think
this is really the main beef people seem to have with lambda: if you
can't do it properly, don't do it at all.
I can relate to that :)
