I used a compose() once:

def action_maker(v,r):
   vl=(
        lambda f: None,
        lambda f: sys.stdout.write('removed %s\n' % f)
      )
   rl=(
        lambda f: f,
        lambda f: (os.remove(f),f)[1]
      )
   return compose(vl[v],rl[r])

There are several memoization modules floating around.
