I found only an example in my personal recent code:

END = "<!-- *db-payload-end* -->"
TITLEPATTERN = lambda s: "<title>%s</title>" % s
this three are later used in a very few .find() and .replace()
expressions in the same module. I suppose my point is that while I agree
it should be discouraged and is really silly to do it for the few chars
gain, it can be used to some effect in very rare cases.
The way that's written currently, I think I could *very* easily miss the
fact that TITLEPATTERN is a callable while glancing over the code (and
be very confused if I later saw it being called or passed as a callback).
Converting to a def makes it obvious that one of these lines is not like
the others:
START = "<!-- *db-payload-start* -->"
END = "<!-- *db-payload-end* -->"
def TITLEPATTERN(s): return "<title>%s</title>" % s
Cheers,
Nick.
