You are not the first person to suggest Ruby-like anonymous blocks or multi-statement lambdas. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=python-ideas+ruby+blocks Its not enough to just think about the benefits. We also need to think about the costs, the disadvantages, the possible syntax, and how well it fits into the existing language. If anyone has some new and interesting ideas, that would be fantastic. But if we're just going to rehash the same rejected ideas again, please don't. Python is 20+ years old and the idea of multi-statement anonymous functions has been discussed since before Ruby even existed. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
