I have a module named test.py, which contains only the following
definition:
def bar(dictionary):
list = ['alpha', 'bravo', 'charlie', 'delta', 'echo', 'foxtrot']
return map( lambda(x): dictionary.get(x,"default"), list)
I import it and run it, and get an error message as follows:
>>> from test import *
>>> bar( {} )
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<pyshell#65>", line 1, in ?
bar( {} )
File "E:\tmp\test.py", line 3, in bar
return map( lambda(x): dictionary.get(x,"default"), list)
File "E:\tmp\test.py", line 3, in <lambda>
return map( lambda(x): dictionary.get(x,"default"), list)
NameError: dictionary
>>>
Isn't this supposed to work? The map statement (minus the return) works
as a standalone line if I give it a global variable for dictionary.
