I'm reading this page: http://www.ps.uni-sb.de/~duchier/pyt...inuations.html
and I've found a strange usage of lambda:
############### #####
Now, CPS would transform the baz function above into:
def baz(x,y,c):
mul(2,x,lambda v,y=y,c=c: add(v,y,c))
############### ####
What does "y=y" and "c=c" mean in the lambda function?
I thought it bounds the outer variables, so I experimented a little
bit:
############### ##
x = 3
y = lambda x=x : x+10
print y(2)
############### ###
It prints 12, so it doesn't bind the variable in the outer scope. 9 2417
I've figured it out, it is default argument.
print y()
gives 13 as result.
It's a bit evil though.
I hope this post will be useful some newbie like i'm now someday :)

You're talking about syntax from the bad old days
when the scope rules were different.
If not too archeological for your tastes, download
and boot a 1.5 and see what happens.
Less empirically, here're some key references: http://www.python.org/doc/2.2.3/whatsnew/node9.html http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0227/
The change came in 2.2 with from __future__ support
in 2.1.

the same thing it does in a function definition:
def myfunct(a, b=42, y=3.141):
pass
############### ##
x = 3
y = lambda x=x : x+10
print y(2)
############### ###

You're mostly correct, as it does pull it out of the local
context. Try
x = 3
y = lambda x=x: x+10
print y(2)
print y()
to get "12" then "13" back.

they bind the argument "y" to the *object* currently referred to by the
outer "y" variable. for example,
y = 10
f = lambda y=y: return y
y = 11
calling f() will return 10 no matter what the outer "y" is set to.
in contrast, if you do
y = 10
f = lambda: y
y = 11
calling f() will return whatever "y" is set to at the time of the call.
or in other words, default arguments bind to values, free variables bind
to names.
I thought it bounds the outer variables, so I experimented a little
bit:

x = 3
y = lambda x=x : x+10

it does, but you're overriding the bound value by passing in a value. try:
x = 3
y = lambda x=x : x+10
y()
x = 10
y()
instead.

Older versions of python didn't make variables in an outer scope
visible in the inner scope. This was the standard idiom to work
around that.

lexically scoped free variables and object binding are two different
things, and have different semantics. the former does not always
replace the latter.

Why? It's the same syntax as with functions:
x=3
def y(x=x):
return x+10
print y(2) # prints 12
print y() # prints 13 zs****@gmail.co m wrote:

It prints 12, so it doesn't bind the variable in the outer scope.
Primary use:
funcs = [lambda x=x: x+2 for x in range(10)]
print funcs[3]()
_or_
funcs = []
for x in range(10):
funcs.append(la mbda x=x: x+2)
print funcs[3]()
Try these w/o the default binding.

Hi,
I'm trying to write a Python function that parses
an expression and builds a function tree from it
(recursively).
During parsing, lambda functions for the the terms
and sub-expressions are constructed on the fly.
Now my problem is lazy evaluation. Or at least I
think it is. :-)

A lambda expression is a short form to write a delegate
In /this/ case (LINQ-to-Objects): yes - but it could equally be compiled
to an Expression, which is very, very different.
A lambda *statement*, on the other hand, is always a delegate.
