lambda fctions & local variables

[Frantisek Kvapil]

Hello,

I have some matching function: 
def match(pattern,value):
    return len(pattern)==len(value) 

and some finding function:
def find(pattern,list):
    return filter(lambda x: match(pattern,x),list)

but the problem is that the lambda function don't know
local variable pattern,

so may you be so nice to tell me how to make it works
(still using lambda functions if possible)


thanks and have nice day
