Can one of the old(er?)-timers help me with this?
There's a sect (claiming the Guido among its sym-
pathizers) that deprecates lambdas for Python, no?
But their reasons (very abstractly, that object-
oriented metaprogramming gives more than enough
goodies, making lambdas essentially redundant) do
*not* apply for communication with the event- and
binding-mechanisms adapted from Tcl, true?  The
conclusion would be, then, that Tkinter forces a
fundamental need for lambdas.
