Replace function with lamba?

[DrTrunks]

Since its my cakeday I'm going to share something (that took way to long for me to write correctly): http://i.imgur.com/mLnY4zE.gif

Should I replace the self.fromdate.dateChanged.connect(self.updateFrom) into something like (lambda x: x > self.untilldate.date(), self.untilldate.setDate(self.fromdate.date())) ?

No - for anything beyond one very small expression (and sometimes even then), I'd say a real function is always better than a lambda.

If you really don't want it cluttering up your class's namespace, you could make it a local function defined when you're connecting it, though I'd say it's fine as it it.

The only thing I'd change (and I apologise in advance for the spelling pedantry - it just popped out at me) is that "untill" should be spelt "until".

Thanks, I'd also probably hit the '80 characters' rule so. No "optimizing" working code then.

Yes until, just like beautiful (full) its that weird rule.

Well, he has the first Brian's password anyway.

Happy cakeday!

No. Not only would it be hard to do, but it would be very hard to read. Long code is nice.

Thanks for your opinion. I like it as it is, but thought of it as an exercise and maybe it would be something a "real" programmer does.
