>>> f = lambda: g((yield))

>>> f()

<generator object <lambda> at 0x00B50828>

I'm not sure, why you think the value of the lambda function is thrown away. The lambda function returns a generator object. The function body of a generator is generally not executed until you call .next() on it, so that's why you don't get a NameError instantly. Also the value, that you .send() into the generator is not thrown away either. In your example the generator just runs into an exception before it goes into a state in which it would accept a .send() call. Just consider this modified example:

  >>> f=lambda: (yield)
  >>> gen=f()
  >>> gen.next()
  >>> gen.send('foobar')
  'foobar'

I had this (with 8 characters):

  );g=(int

  f = lambda: g();g=(int)
  f() -> 0

I haven't been following the thread, but Ram posted the same riddle on Python-IL mailing list a few days ago. You can see the discussion there.

  """

At 12 characters, this is definitely not the shortest, but it is a totally different approach than the other solutions:

    >>> f = lambda: g()if 0 else(1)
    >>> f()
    1

I was going to attempt this, but the solution was posted inline in the blog entry, and I read it by accident. My window was just big enough that it was the last line displayed. =(

undefined

Something like

);f=(set

Leading to the whole line reading:

f = lambda: g();f=(set)

8 characters

the winning solutions seems to be 7 chars

0);g=(id

8 chars

f = lambda g:(0) f() <function <lambda> at 0x113478>.

f = lambda: g(""")

f()

technically not two commands, and it will look like:

>>> f = lambda: g(""")

. . . f()

undefined

LoseThos uses my own variation of C/C++.

"Yield" is the same as "Sleep(0);" in Microsoft - it voluntarily yields the CPU to the scheduler, so it can scedule the next task.

A task context can be saved and another task's context restored in half a microsecond.

while (InPort(PORT)&BUSY) Yield();

That will test a port and yield. Are you a moron or do you know what that does?

Function addresses have an "&" in front.
