achild is an instance. You must assign the lambda as a member
of the child *class*, else it will be an unbound method.

e.g.

>>> class A:
...     pass
...
>>> b = lambda x: x
>>> b
<function <lambda> at 7f7bd0>
>>> a.b = b
>>> a.b
<function <lambda> at 7f7bd0>
>>> a.b()
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: not enough arguments; expected 1, got 0
>>> a.b(1)
1
>>> A.b = b
>>> a=A()
>>> A.b
<unbound method A.<lambda>>
>>> a.b
<method A.<lambda> of A instance at 7f8d70>
>>> a.b()
<__main__.A instance at 7f8d70>
