But you have to do that in *another* Python session, because
the first one is broken in interesing ways, e.g.
>>> (lambda *fs: reduce(lambda f, g: lambda x: f(g(x)), fs))(*([lambda s:
s[1::2]+s[-2::-2]]*54))('motcye;cye._n8fo_drs(d4+)vle=5 ua.8)(isedamr.ticspt
spt rpi')
File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: name 'fs' is local and global
>>> lambda z: 42
File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: name 'z' is local and global
I never knew that error message existed! Is it even possible
to get it from a non-broken Python?
To answer my own question, apparently yes:
>>> def f(x):
... global x
...
File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: name 'x' is local and global
You learn something every day...
