Question

I’m doing a complicated hack in Python, it’s a problem when you mix for+lambda+*args (don’t do this at home kids), the boring details can be omited, the unique solution I found to resolve the problem is to pass the lambda object into the self lambda in this way:

for ...
    lambda x=x, *y: foo(x, y, <selflambda>)

It’s possible?, thanks a lot.

Answer 1

While your question is genuinely weird, try something like:

>>> import functools
>>> f = lambda selflambda, x=x, *y: foo(x, y, selflambda)
>>> f = functools.partial(f, f)
