Python uses whitespace indentation for blocks like for loops etc. This is context-sensitive, not context-free grammar. For this reason Lambda bodies can't use blocks, only expressions.
In Python 2, lambda lhs syntax was a bit borked but that is fixed in 3. Also the lambda object behaved slightly differently than a normal function. This is of course assuming that you are trying to do something stupid like unwind the stack, otherwise I don't think you would normally notice the difference.
The latter part is what I would call random, but mostly is not applicable to Python 3 anymore. However, to get there Python abandoned some simple conveniences like the very minimal destructuring that 2 did support for function arguments: lambda a,(b,c): a+b+c
Python does not have poor ergonomics by any means, I just wouldn't recommend Functional style because it looks horrible and isn't well supported.
As for list comprehensions, actual list/iter comprehension look better than map/filter imho. Also this is the preferred syntax in uber-functional languages like Haskell.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
