`pair` isn't a reserved word here; it's just the formal parameter name. Think of the lambda here as being equivalent to a function def second(pair): return pair[1] You can replace the word "pair" here with any other valid Python identifier, and it'll still work the same way. ---------- nosy: +mark.dickinson _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40641> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
