Message317061
The only thing special about functions defined with lambda expressions rather than def statements is the generic name attribute '<lambda>' instead of a specific name. PEP8 intentionally and properly discourages 'name = lambda ...' as inferior to 'def name(...'.
For your example,
async def foo(a, b): return 5 + await bar(b)
For inline function expressions, as in function calls, the obvious proposals would be to reuse 'async' in f(async lambda a, b: ...) or a new keyword, such as 'alambda' or 'asynclambda' or ... . Either would need multiple use cases to justify not just using async def first. |
