Yes. You've got it exactly. How do you think lambda made its way
into the language?
Seriously -- you've already seen Guido's response. I think there's no
chance of adding third-party code to the Python CVS repository or
source distribution. The only way I could imagine it happening is if
there was strong consensus from the XML SIG. So Greg's suggestion is
a good one.
