I am sorry if this has already been proposed (I am sure it has).
Why not substitue python-lambdas with degenerated generator expressions::
(lambda x: func(x)) == (func(x) for x)
i.e. a one time callable generator expression (missing the `in` part).
The arguments get passed into the generator, I am sure that can be
combined with the PEP about passing args and Exceptions into a generator.
