Python create function in a loop capturing the loop variable

Question

What\'s going on here? I\'m trying to create a list of functions:

def f(a,b):
    return a*b

funcs = []

for i in range(0,10):
    funcs.append(lambda x:f(         


        

Answer 1

Considering the final value of i == 9

Like any good python function, it's going to use the value of the variable in the scope it was defined. Perhaps lambda: varname (being that it is a language construct) binds to the name, not the value, and evaluates that name at runtime?

Similar to:

i = 9
def foo():
    print i

i = 10
foo()
