foo ? my_op ?
Doesn't the same apply to the lambda example ?

Isn't this just a more detailed example of the same thing ?
With a similar solution :

def make_translation_function(GCPs, type, invert=False):
    if type == 'LSF' and len(GCPs) < 12:
        # Do lots of time-consuming magic to calculate A, B, ...
        def translation_fn(x, y):
            return (
               x * A + y * B +
               x * y * C +
               ...,
               x * G + y * H +
               x * y * I +
               ...
           )
        return translation_fn
    elif ... # Repeat lots of times for variations.

Quick variation using working code:

def makefn(a, b):
    A = a*3
    B = b * 2
    def my_op(x, y):
        return (x*A + y*B, (x+A)*(y+B))
    return my_op

x = makefn(1, 1)
print x(2, 2)
