I have a suggestion about the Python tutorial for improvement.
Specifically about in Python tutorial 4.7.5 lambda forms.
http://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/controlflow.html#lambda-forms
It is not very clear from the tutorial what lambda forms are for
They are mostly for passing a one-use function as an argument to another
function. The tutorial should say that and give an example.

someone who doesn't know functional programming. I think placing a
link of "functional Programming HOWTO" of Python documentation can
take out much confusion for Python newbies.
That document is not about lambda. The word 'lambda' does not appear
until near the end, and some of the current examples violate PEP 8.
I would like to suggest this because as I newbiw I had much
confusion 2 months back before I could figure out its proper use.
Where do I suggest this improvement? --
