Sorry, I should have written back with my findings. I had run into the problem described in this email: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2001-June/090863.html. See, I was using bare execs elsewhere in the program. It had nothing to do with the lambda, which ended up working perfectly once I fixed the exec. Thanks!
