I see what you're saying now. However, why am I able to use print as a function in general-purpose code in my Python 2.6 script, like so: def SomeFunction(): print( "Hello World" ) But, I am not able to do this: SomeFunction = lambda: print( "Hello World" ) ??????
Because (unless you do 'from __future__ import print_function' in Py2.6) it's statement, not a functions. In Python you can put any expression in parentheses -- it's useful for wraping long lines but changes nothing semantically (unless you add a comma -- then you create a tuple, even without parentheses, but it'a another story...). *j -- Jan Kaliszewski (zuo) <z...@chopin.edu.pl> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
