Python, dics and lambda

[vorticalbox]

Does anyone know why this doesn't work

strat_map = {
  '1': lambda: print('One'),
  '2': lambda: print('Two')
  
}

strat_map['1']
strat_map['2']

but this does

strat_map = {
  '1': lambda a: print('One'),
  '2': lambda a: print('Two')
  
}

strat_map['1']('')
strat_map['2']('')

The first one just returns a function object, the second one actually calls that function object. 

But since you don't use the arguments at all you should just do

 

strat_map = {
  '1': lambda: print('One'),
  '2': lambda: print('Two')
  
}

strat_map['1']()
strat_map['2']()
