In the Twisted documentation, there are several examples and references that use the term "lambda" but I can't find any semantic definition of what lambda is about. For example:

d.addCallback(lambda object: object.callRemote("echo", "hello network"))

I'm kind of new to Python and prior to Twisted, I have not seen this type of syntax before:

"lambda object: "

Any references would be appreciated.
