Returning a function from another function
Okay, bear with me on this, I know it’s going to look horribly convoluted, but please help me understand what’s happening.
Recently I started playing around with Python and I came around something peculiar in the way closures work. Consider the following code:
What does the Python nonlocal statement do (in Python 3.0 and later)?
While I was investigating a problem I had with lexical closures in Javascript code, I came along this problem in Python:
I want to make 5 buttons in a loop, and for each buttons bind a commend to print the index. In the following solution it always prints the same index.
I have seen and used nested functions in Python, and they match the definition of a closure. So why are they called nested functions instead of closures?
The following code spits out 1 twice, but I expect to see 0 and then 1.
I am trying to use closures to eliminate a variable from a function signature (the application is to make writing all the functions needed for connecting Qt signals for an interface to control a largish number of parameters to the dictionary that stores the values ).
