Question

In python I want a lambda which return space characters equal to the input.
for example.

x=lambda x: return space x times
print "my message",x(10),"my message 2"

Output:

my message<10 space>my message 2

This will cater my need in a particular situation.
I can write a function for this but if this could be done?

Answer 1

Something like:

x = lambda times:' '*times
print "my message{0}my message 2".format(x(10))         
my message          my message 2
