That's the idea but Python lambdas are a bit crippled
so its really an anonymous expression... :-(

But if you know JQuery then lambdas should be
easy to pick up. And they are really useful in GUI
and Functional programming contexts.

In summary:

foo = lambda <paramList>: return <expression>

is equivalent to

def foo(paramList):
  return expression
