objects are required. They are syntactically restricted to a single

expression. Semantically, they are just syntactic sugar for a normal

function definition. Like nested function definitions, lambda forms

cannot reference variables from the containing scope, but this can be

overcome through the judicious use of default argument values:

can reference variables from the containing scope:

... return lambda x, incr=n: x+incr
