Since you probably won't stop until I give you an answer: I'm really not interested in a syntactic solution that allows multi-line lambdas. I don't think the complexity (in terms of users needing to learn them) is worth it. So please stop (as several people have already asked you). There's some text somewhere in the guidelines for python developers on when to know when to give up. Read it. :-) It's not just a matter of knowing when to give up. It's also a matter of actually giving up once you know it's time.

regards Steve
