Re: Anonymus functions revisited

For me, one of the reasons for using Python is the ease and the intuivity of reading its code. I have a problem with intuitively getting what is going on when using a pattern like (x,y,z=0) - (x,y,z) where I expect at the first glance some C code with access to class members. At least I must

Why not: try: (x,y,z) except NameError: z=0 (x,y,z) ? instead of lambda x,y,z=0:(x,y,z) Because it does not do the same thing ?-) Haven't got the idea why? (pedantic?) Because, if it did, it would still require 5 times more lines of code to do the same thing (hence it's

Already lambda x,y,z=0:(x,y,z) is a problem for me. Why not: try: (x,y,z) except NameError: z=0 (x,y,z) ? Because they are not equivallent. Watching the last piece of code can even directly be seen, that there is eventually a NameError problem with z to

for x,y,z in some_iterator: If some_iterator produces at some time a tuple with only two elements this will raise an exception no matter whether you assigned z already or not. So if I now understand it right, the core of the whole proposal is to find a way to make unpacking of tuples work

What do you find most readable: your version, with an ad-hoc function defined somewhere else, far away in the code, or a simpler: for (x,y,z=0) in tupleList: do_whatever_with_it() I came up with the ad-hoc function to give a kind of replacement for the used syntax, in order not to ask why
