[Python-Dev] anonymous blocks

(I apologize that this is my first post. Please don't flame me into oblivion or think I'm a quack!) Have you guys considered the following syntax for anonymous blocks? I think it's possible to parse given Python's existing syntax: items.doFoo( def (a, b) { return a + b }, def (c, d) { return c + d } ) Notice the trick is that there is no name between the def and the "(", and the ")" is followed by a "{". I understand that there is hesitance to use "{}". However, you can think of this as a Python special case on the same level as using ";" between statements on a single line. From that perspective, it's not inconsistent at all. Best Regards, -jj
