From pep-0008:
```
Always use a def statement instead of an assignment statement that binds a
lambda expression directly to an identifier.
Yes:
def f(x): return 2*x
No:
f = lambda x: 2*x
The first form means that the name of the resulting function object is
specifically 'f' instead of the generic '<lambda>'. This is more useful for
tracebacks and string representations in general. The use of the assignment
statement eliminates the sole benefit a lambda expression can offer over an
explicit def statement (i.e. that it can be embedded inside a larger expression)
