Was lambda almost removed from CPython 3.x? Anyway, pylint doesn't complain about a bare use of lambda, but it does complain about a map applied to a lambda or a filter applied to a lambda. Pylint says they could be replaced by a list comprehension, with the warning "deprecated-lambda". -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
