You can, see the lambda keyword:

http://diveintopython.org/power_of_introspection/lambda_functions.html

You can also define functions within functions, so if your auxiliary function 
is longer (but you won't use it from anywhere else), you can define it inside 
your original function.

I don't know exactly what the difference is between the different *apply 
functions in R (lapply, sapply, apply), but I believe that Python's map() 
function does something similar. But even better, use list comprehensions if 
possible:
