Is it possible to have multiple statements in a python lambda expression?

Question

I am a python newbie trying to achieve the following:

I have a list of lists:

lst = [[567,345,234],[253,465,756, 2345],[333,777,111, 555]]
         


        

Answer 1

Using begin() from here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/hms4z/ask_pyreddit_if_you_were_making_your_own/c1wycci

Python 3.2 (r32:88445, Mar 25 2011, 19:28:28) 
[GCC 4.5.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> lst = [[567,345,234],[253,465,756, 2345],[333,777,111, 555]]
>>> begin = lambda *args: args[-1]
>>> list(map(lambda x: begin(x.sort(), x[1]), lst))
[345, 465, 333]
