>>> for m in cm():
... m(1)
...

# I was expecting 0, 1, 2

# I dig in further more
>>> a,b,c = [i for i in range(3)]
>>> a
0
>>> b
1
>>> c
2
# List comprehension of integer worked as per my understanding

>>> a,b,c = [lambda x:i*x for i in range(3)]
>>> a
<function <listcomp>.<lambda> at 0x04CE5198>
>>> a(1)
