You cut something from that... """It's not, after all, the word "lambda" itself; I would still have some issues with using, say "function", instead of "lambda", but at least then I would immediately know what I was looking at..."""
I would have fewer ambiguities about using, say "func" rather than lambda. Lambda always makes me feel like I'm switching to some *other* language (specifically, Greek - I took a couple of semesters of Attic Greek in college and quite enjoyed it.) But, the fact that lambda doesn't MEAN anything (and has come - I mean - DELTA at least has a fairly commonly understood meaning, even at high-school level math. But, lambda? If it was "func" or "function" or even "def", I would be happier. At least that way I'd have some idea what it was supposed to be... BTW - I am *quite* happy with the proposal for "where:" syntax - I think it handles the problems I have with lambda quite handily. Anna -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
