Maybe unrolling it would help? This is equivalent to the body of your lambda, and you can see that the argument is evaluated prior to the call which receives it. >>> func = f() >>> arg = g() >>> func(arg) >>> import dis > >>> dis.dis(lambda : f()(g())) > 1 0 LOAD_GLOBAL 0 (f) > 3 CALL_FUNCTION 0 > Call 'f()' with all of its arguments evaluated prior to the call (there are none, that's the '0' on the CALL_FUNCTION operator). > 6 LOAD_GLOBAL 1 (g) > 9 CALL_FUNCTION 0 > Next, evaluate the arguments for the next function call.
