where to place doc strings under a lambda function? in python

In Python, you can place docstrings under a lambda function by assigning the docstring to the __doc__ attribute of the lambda function.

Here's an example of how to do it:

main.py
my_lambda = lambda x: x * 2
my_lambda.__doc__ = "This lambda function doubles the input"
89 chars
3 lines

Now, when you access the __doc__ attribute of my_lambda, you will get the docstring:

main.py
print(my_lambda.__doc__)  # Output: "This lambda function doubles the input"
77 chars
2 lines

Note that assigning a docstring to a lambda function is optional and not commonly done, as lambda functions are usually simple and self-explanatory.

It's important to remember that docstrings are typically used to document more complex functions or classes, and lambda functions are often used for more concise and short-lived operations.
