It's so highly unlikely you'll get them, you should probably resign yourself (or use a different language, or try to approach it from the other direction: convert Python statements to expressions so you can use them in existing lambdas, after all Python's current lambdas are no more restricted than Haskell's, it's just that the rest of Python doesn't play nice with them)

I know Python will probably always have shitty suport for functional stuff. What bothered me the most was the bit in his presentation where he said using anon functions are "harder to test", "harder to follow" and lead to code duplication, implying you should instead create a stupid named func like "process_num" instead of passing a lambda to map directly.
