[New-bugs-announce] [issue34339] Argument unpacking syntax for lambdas

[danijar]

New submission from danijar <mail at danijar.com>:

It would be great to support argument unpacking for lambdas. Example:

  lambda x, (y, z): x + y + z

instead of

  lambda x, y_and_z: x + y_and_z[0] + y_and_z[1]

Similar unpacking syntax is available for normal functions:

  def foo(x, y_and_z):
    y, z = y_and_z
    return x + y + z

This would greatly increase readability in some cases.
