Is this a good use for lambda

flow = integrate(_flow_func, xBeg, xEnd)

def _root_func(x):
     return y2 + lp*(x - x2) - wallFunc(x)[0]
root = findRoot(xBeg, xEnd, _root_func, tolerance=1.0e-15)

I think those are much easier to follow. I find consistent punctuation 
spacing helps readability too...
