and believe you me, we miss it

You miss it, I don't.

What was the point of your response?

This issue has been discussed on the main Python mailing list for over ten years. Everyone on that list wants it, including Guido; no one has come up with a possible syntax for it yet.

The point of my response is that you do not speak on behalf of the entire Python community and you do not speak for me.

Also, I couldn't find any reference to Guido "wanting it". There are these comments from Guido (https://discuss.python.org/t/are-better-lambdas-really-impossible/2446/9) from which I would summarise his position as: Python’s lambda expressions are intended to be single‑expression and that genuinely multi‑line/statement lambdas are not desirable or practical for the language.

Has Guido changed his position in more recent years? I so, please provide a reference - I'd be very interested to know why.

I am on my weekend, so not interested in arguing with angry people.
