I’ll say it: Python sucks for Functional Programming. It’s just not the right tool for the job (or job for the tool, depending on your point of view.) It’s a great language for most programmers to get things done in, but it belongs to the school of ‘limited abstraction is for your own good’. For example, no multi line lambda expressions. The argument given is that it would mess up whitespace syntax. Haskell handles this situation, but it does indeed introduce a bit more syntax. If you need to FP in a general purpose scripting language, I would be looking at Elixir or Javascript right now.
