not trying to shitpost - I'm legit curious. What's the difference between the two? Like in this snippet, are the two resulting functions different from each other in some way that I haven't considered? def parent_function(): output_function_a = lambda x,y: (x + 23) * y def output_function_b(x, y): return (x + 23) * y return output_function_a, output_function_b

Python lambdas don't have names, and can be defined in expression context (as in, 'map(lambda foo: bar, baz)').

The true comparison is def parent_function(): def output_function_b(x, y): return (x + 23) * y return lambda x,y: (x + 23) * y, output_function_b
