Python's lambda sums up everything that sucks in Python. It's a crippled, half-assed implementation of something which is considered a basic requirement for any programming language aiming for mainstream adoption. Even Java 8 did a better job after realising it wasn't too late in the day. Python's virtualenv requirement is also another admission of failure, IMHO.
