# Untested, but seems like this should work.

value = [1, "hello", int, given_(lambda a, b=None:
    import_("math", lambda math:
    import_("operator", lambda operator:
    do_(lambda: operator.setitem(globals(), 'spam', [a, b]*3), lambda:
    print_(globals()['spam'], lambda:
    do_(lambda: operator.delitem(globals(), 'spam')))))))]


To the OP: I note that although import_ is used in the examples, it's
not found in the list of functions in the README.
