sorry, i'm not conscient of rebinding a name... what do you mean by
"rebind that name" exactly?

i tried to understand, and maybe i have understood a thing or two...

funcs = []

def create_func(i):
    return lambda: i

for i in xrange(10):
    funcs.append(lambda i=i: i)
    funcs.append(create_func(i))
    funcs.append(lambda: i)            # this is my addition

for f in funcs:
    print f()

ok, i'll try again following your advice

thank you very much
