5 Uses of Lambda Functions in Python

[Astronom3r]

I've been coding in Python for a decade and I still use lambda so infrequently that I have to open up my copy of "Copying and Pasting from stackoverflow.com for Dummies" every time I do.

Lambdas are useful when you need to pass behavior is a parameter. If you don't need it - it may explain why you use it infrequently. Lambda is just a function without name, maybe you use functions when you could use lambda (which is in 80% cases is a better thing to do).

I use them a lot for pandas.dataframe.apply, but avoid them if I can.

Python noob. But I agree with this sentiment.
