  4.7.5. Lambda Forms

By popular demand, a few features commonly found in functional programming languages like Lisp have been added to Python. With the lambda keyword, small anonymous functions can be created. Here’s a function that returns the sum of its two arguments: lambda a, b: a+b. Lambda forms can be used wherever function objects are required. They are syntactically restricted to a single expression. Semantically, they are just syntactic sugar for a normal function definition. Like nested function definitions, lambda forms can reference variables from the containing scope:

关键字，用来创建小的匿名函数

语法上限制单个表达式。其实和内嵌函数定义差不多

 

>>> def make_incrementor(n):
...     return lambda x: x + n
...
>>> f = make_incrementor(42)
>>> f(0)
42
>>> f(1)
43

4.7.6. Documentation Strings

其实就是对函数或者模块的说明

 

Here is an example of a multi-line docstring:

>>> def my_function(): ... """Do nothing, but document it. ... ... No, really, it doesn't do anything. ... """ ... pass ... >>> print my_function.__doc__ Do nothing, but document it. No, really, it doesn't do anything.
