Python's GvvR wrote a blog post on why multi-line lambdas aren't around in 2006. (ref: https://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=147358) It has aged like milk, and looks impossibly ridiculous in light of modern languages. But it also points out: A lot of "Pythonicity" isn't Pythonic because the community has decided it is. It's "Pythonic" because GvvR had control of the project and its purse strings, and he didn't like it.
Which is fine, for small projects. For Python in 2024, it's pretty outrageous.
