What would Python print?

from operator import sub

this = lambda a, b : lambda c: a(b, c)
d = 30

def that(e, f):
    if e and f:
        e, d = f(sub, e)(5), e
    else:
        print(e)
        d = 20
    def this(g):
       return lambda : print(g(d, e))
    return this

The code above is loaded into the Python interpreter. What would the following lines output? Assume they are entered one after the other in the same environment. If there is no output, leave the space blank. If the code causes an error, write Error and describe in a few words what caused it.

>>> this(sub, d)()
Error, second function call missing an argument
>>> this(print, 40)(d)
40 30
>>> this(lambda x, y : y, d)(20)
20
>>> that(d, 0)(sub)
30
<\function ...>
>>> other = that(10, this)(print)

>>> other() 
10 5
None
