How to apply decorators to lambdas?

Question

Is there any syntax for using a decorator on a lambda function in Python? Example:

def simpledecorator(f):
     def new_f():
         print \"Using a decorat         


        

Answer 1

There appear to be two options which give the functionality, but without the clean syntax:

(1) Keep lambda and ditch the decorator syntax (as posted by dan04):

f = simpledecorator( lambda : print( "Hello World" ) )

(2) Keep the decorator syntax and use a 1 line def statement instead of lambda:

@simpledecorator
def f(): print ( "Hello World" )

This 2nd form may be preferable if you want to chain decorators:

@simpledecorator
@simpledecorator
def f(): print ( "Hello World" )

Answer 2

f = anotherdecorator(lambda x: x * 2)
