How to test whether a variable holds a lambda?

Question

Is there a way to test whether a variable holds a lambda? The context is I'd like to check a type in a unit test:

self.assertEquals(lambda, type(myVar))

The type seems to be "function" but I didn't see any obvious builtin type to match it. Obviously I can write this, but it feels clumsy:

self.assertEquals(type(lambda m: m), type(myVar))

Answer 1

mylambda.func_name == '<lambda>'

Answer 2

def isalambda(v):
  return isinstance(v, type(lambda: None)) and v.__name__ == '<lambda>'
