>And lambda expressions are lame compared to what you can do in JavaScript/Perl/Scala.
Python lets you pass functions other ways than using lambdas, you know. If you've defined a function with the standard "def foo" style, you can pass "foo" as an argument.
Even the standard "1-line lambdas LOL" limitation can be circumvented by defining the function elsewhere and making the lambda a call to it.
