: What about having a way to specify an arbitrary number of
: arbitrary elements of a sequence? E.g.
: sequence_object [ 4:2 ; 1 ; 1 ; 8 ]
: I came across that when I tried to extract just year and day from
: the call to localtime() (which yields a tuple year,month,day,... )
: and would have prefered to write
: year, month = localtime(time())[0;2]
: instead of
: x = localtime(time())
: year, month = x[0], x[2]
I like this idea but...
...ask Guido... ;-)
: * How is the syntax for calling a lambda expression with arguments?
: I.e. what is the python equivalent of the following Scheme expression?
: ((lambda (n) (+ n 1)) 10)
I donnow Scheme...
A guess: (lambda n: n+1)(10)
: I actually tried that in the context of converting a list to tuple
: and I tried to get something like that to work
: lambda l: l[0], l[1] ( [1, 2] )
(lambda l: (l[0],l[1]))([1,2])
Bye,
Ulf.
