Lambda?!

I added:

  import sys
  print sys.version

and changed the last line to:

  print f.spam()

and got:

  2.2.1 (#1, Jun 25 2002, 10:55:46)
  [GCC 2.95.3-5 (cygwin special)]
  ['<TEST>', '<OTHER TEST>']

So, a more accurate subject would be:

  Lambda with Python 2.0 and/or nested scopes?!
