Can you assign variables in a lambda?

Question

I was using a lambda statement to perform math, and happened to repeatedly use one certain value. Therefore I was wondering if it was possible to assign and use

Answer 1

Im no expert at this, but the way i did it was by modifying globals() or locals() like this:

lambda: globals().__setitem__('some_variable', 'some value')

or if it's inside a function:

lambda: locals().__setitem__('some_variable', 'some value')

you could also use update() instead of __setitem__() if you wanted to, but that's a bit redundant.
