i'm trying to lookup on the detail of language Python's “lambda�
function feature. I've seen it before, but today i need to read about
it again since i'm writing. I quickly went to the index page:
http://python.org/doc/2.4.1/lib/genindex.html
but all i got is a LambdaType.

i'm thinking, maybe built-in functions are not listed there. Lo, but
map() and friends are there. O, maybe i'm confused and “lambda� is
actually a keyword by this particular language's feelings, but Lo,
“while� is certainly a keyword but it is there.

**** the Python liers and ignorant ****heads. Mother****ing don't know
**** and yet lying thru their teeth with fanfare.

I knew I shouldn't feed the troll, but anyway.

'lambda' is a keyword. So there's no doubt looking in LIBRARY Reference
and not finding it.
There exists a document called LANGUAGE Reference, with description of
'lambda' keyword. http://python.org/doc/2.4.1/ref/lambdas.html.
('while' statement is also documented in Language Reference.)


So to quote from Xah Lee:

You can't complain about lacks of knowledge if you don't know where to
look.
BTW, you post to the wrong group.

No, I think c.l.l is exactly the place to discuss how to play many trumpets
through one set of teeth.

In fact, I have a box of trumpets lying around somewhere...

Open wide, Xah!
