I've been arguing for ages about that on #python/freenode. Otherwise, I don't know. Different attempts have been made to include lambdas but it always feel wrong and unpythonic. I believe it's not so much about multi-lines but more about how the standard library is designed. It's mostly imperative/OO and use really few callbacks. Thus, when you try mixing long lambdas, it feels wrong. Unlike in CS with node.js or jQuery (for example), where callbacks are really the way to go.
