Python doesn't have variable capture from outer scopes, or closures; thus actual anonymous functions would be far less useful than you'd imagine.

Compare:
```perl
my @closures;
foreach my $x ( 1 .. 10 ) {
push @closures, sub { return $x };
}
```

each of the ten closures pushed to the array captures the value $x had been when it was created. Invoking each would return its own captured value. Python's one doesn't do that.
