Lambda is an abortion, imo. It should be deprecated, and eventually
removed from the language. It doesn't do what it set out to do particularly
well, and suffers from the double sin of being a construct that is
inherently anti-pythonic. The subset of list comprehensions that can
be used to do what map/reduce-lambda do are an example of something
that does what it was intended, is clear, and pythonic.

Just an opinion,
