4.7.5 Lambda 形式 Lambda Forms

By popular demand, a few features commonly found in functional programming languages and 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:

出于适当的需要，有几种通常在功能性语言和 Lisp 中出现的功能加入到了 Python 。通过 lambda 关键字，可以创建很小的匿名函数。这里有一个函数返回它的两个参数的和："lambda a, b: a+b"。 Lambda 形式可以用于任何需要的函数对象。出于语法限制，它们只能有一个单独的表达式。语义上讲，它们只是普通函数定义中的一个语法技巧。类似于嵌套函数定义，lambda 形式可以从包含范围内引用变量：

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