I see. I thought I saw a mention somewhere else that Python lambdas were
designed to be less functional than full def-style functions.

But perhaps this limitation wasn’t intentional, just an inherent
consequence of the fact that Python’s significant-whitespace rules only
apply to statements, not expressions...


I think the primary reason for that is just that nobody has yet come up
with a good syntax proposal for anonymous functions to contain statement
lists.
