How to get filter to work with a lambda taking multiple arguments?

Question

Using Python, am finding it difficult to get filter() to work with lambda for cases where more than 1 argument needs to be passed as is the case in the following snippet:

Answer 1

I hope you are aware of?

>>> max([1, 4, 8])
8

filter() takes a single argument. In your case, it will take 1. Then 4. Then 8.
