I guess it's related to the removal of auto-unpacking of arguments. i.e. in 2.x:
>>> f = lambda (x, y), z: (x, y, z)
>>> f([1, 2], 3)
(1, 2, 3)
However this was removed in 3.x so
>>> f = lambda (x, y), z: (x, y, z)
File "<stdin>", line 1
f = lambda (x, y), z: (x, y, z)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Removing that feature would allow a simplification of the lambda
syntax that would have no need to admit any kind of brackets.
