No mention is made of the fact that you can't do this in a lambda, giving the impression that lambdas are deemed second-class citizens that are not worth consideration.
Given that lambdas only just escaped being removed entirely from the language in Python 3, that impression isn't wrong.
Cheers, Nick.
