A true hackerish version perhaps: bc = [124, 0, 0, 114, 37, 0, 116, 0, 0, 124, 0, 0, 106, 2, 0, 100, 1, 0, 131, 1, 0, 124, 1, 0, 106, 1, 0, 124, 0, 0, 131, 1, 0, 131, 2, 0, 83, 124, 1, 0, 83] fact = type(lambda:0)(type((lambda:0).func_code)(2, 2, 7, 0, ''.join(map(chr, bc)), (None, 1), ('fact', '__mul__', '__sub__'), ('x', 'acc'), "n/a", "fact", 0, ""), globals(), "fact", (1,))

while I know this is a joke I would argue that this is in no way hackerish, this is an asshole version. Basically a middle finger to anyone who wants to work with your code. Also anything but pythonic. (please note this not meant to be an insult to the parent commenter)

If anyone's interested (I am because I found myself to be a 'Lazier programmer') - Timeit's time for three functions: Lazy Programmer - 0.907521744301 Lazier Programmer - 1.0473810545812512 Using math.factorial - 0.12187403971609001

A 'lazier programmer' who actually checked the optimization of various factorial methods? There's a joke in there somewhere...
