I am not sure why you posted that link. Closures have nothing to do
with lambda
functions (if lambdas were removed, Python would have closures still)
and it is
shows idioms which are now deprecated or that have better alternative
using
list or generator-expressions, generators, and the itertools module.
So my advice
is to forget about that link and to read the standard library more ;)
