I didn't give up after posting and managed to grasp this whole lambda
thing! No need to respond now :-) I understood it the moment I tried to
type out, instead of just thinking in my head, what was going on as a
normal function.

Could anyone tell me how this line of code is working:
filter(lambda x: x in string.letters, text)
I understand that it's filtering the contents of the variable text and I
know that lambda is a kind of embedded function.
What I'd like to know is how it would be written if it was a normal
function.
