I have been reading though the PyGTK tutorial. Can anyone explain how lambda is being used in this statement:
button.connect("clicked", lambda w: gtk.main_quit()) This code might put the statement in context: # Create "Quit" button 66 button = gtk.Button("Quit") 67 68 # When the button is clicked, we call the main_quit function 69 # and the program exits 70 button.connect("clicked", lambda w: gtk.main_quit()) 71 72 # Insert the quit button into the both lower quadrants of the table 73 table.attach(button, 0, 2, 1, 2) 74 75 button.show() The complete script is located at http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/sec-TablePackingExample.html. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
