Agreed. Which would make it pointless to remove in a future release. ;-)

I'll bet that there is an easy enough way to use Tkinter without them
(Before anyone wants to argue my points, I would like to say that I'm
neutral in
this discussion, I only wish to point out alternative views)

Okay, for this problem (it can be altered otherwise)
def makefunct(stri):
def x():
print stri
return x
aFuncList = [makefunct('one'),makefunct('two'),makefunct('three')]
for item in aFuncList:
item()
It's shorter, it works and it looks cool.
Thanks to Jeff Shannon for the backbone of this example.
