Multiline lambdas?

[lukefisklennon]

Hi there!

One of my main gripes about Python is not being able to write multiline lambdas. I had an idea to create a Python preprocessor that allows braces (and found this before making it myself) to allow multiline lambdas, but also to generally improve readability.

I'm just wondering if Bython supports multiline lambdas, or plans to in the future.

Thanks so much!

I second this. I think we are really talking about anonymous functions, which is a big limitation of python.

@abalter Thanks for the clarification, that's what I meant.

I agree!

1. multiline lambdas ❤️
2. maybe, one day, a slightly less complicated parser in the language internals? 🤷

The only reasonable arguments for this project to exist.
