Why is it necessary? For the same reason that this works:

def func_pair():
    x = 0
    def inc():
        nonlocal x; x+=1
        return x
    def dec():
        nonlocal x; x-=1
        return x
    return inc, dec

fooup, foodn = func_pair()
barup, bardn = func_pair()
>>> fooup(), fooup(), fooup(), foodn()
(1, 2, 3, 2)
>>> barup(), barup(), bardn(), bardn()
(1, 2, 1, 0)

When you use the variable x in multiple places, it's the same variable
and it has a single value. If you don't want that, you have to make a
separate variable.

The reason this is surprising is that people want their functions to 
magically read their mind and do what they want, even when they want it 
to do something different each time.

If you have early binding, then people who want late binding will 
complain that it does the wrong thing. If you have late binding, then 
people who want early binding will complain that it does the wrong thing. 
Even when they are the same people.


And *none of this has anything to do with lambda*. Functions created with 
def exhibit the exact same behaviour.

Well no, it *should* be λx y . x + y but apparently some people don't
have that character on their keyboards, so it gets written as lambda
or \ instead.  Personally I dislike the \ style; it doesn't really
resemble a λ that closely, and to me the backslash denotes escape
sequences and set differences.  Nor is Python alone in spelling out
lambda: Scheme and Common Lisp spell it the same way. As far as I know
the \ for λ is unique to Haskell.

Yeah: Its 2014 (at least out here)...
About time we started using unicode in earnest dont you think??

Id like to see the following spellings corrected:
lambda to λ
in to ∈
(preferably with the 'in' predicate and the 'in' in 'for' disambiguated)
set([]) to ∅

And some parentheses disambiguation
Internal ambiguity: Is '(...)' a paren? a function? a tuple?
External ambiguity: {} in python vs in set theory

[And now I hand it over to our very dear resident troll to explain the glories
of the FSR]

The problems with these is not Unicode or a lack thereof, but keys. I
know how to type "lambda" on any keyboard I reach for; if it's a
full-sized QWERTY variant, I can type it without looking, and if it's
something else then I can peer at the thing and find the appropriate
five letters. (Phone keyboards are notoriously peer-worthy.) How do I
type λ? Do I have to memorize an alt-key sequence? Do I need to keep a
set of "language keywords" in a file somewhere so I can copy and
paste? Does my editor have to provide them?

What is really gained by using the short-hand? It becomes nigh
ungoogleable; yes, you can paste λ into Google and find out that it's
called lambda (and, if Python used that as a keyword, you could type
"λ python" into Google and get to the docs), but how do you figure out
which part of this to search for?

sockets.sort(key=λdata:data[1])

More likely you'd search for "sockets" or "sort" or maybe "key" or
"data", but you wouldn't expect to search for the symbol.

I don't know about the difference between {} in set theory and Python,
but the multiple uses of () actually boil down to two:

1) Grouping, which includes tuples; there's a special case whereby
grouping nothing makes a zero-item tuple, but everything else is just
the comma

2) Functions (both definition and call)

Disambiguating them might be of some small value, but since they're
the same in pretty much every language under the sun, it would feel
like syntactic salt: you have to use a different, and hard to type,
form of parenthesis for one (or even both!) of what ought to just be
simple brackets.

And what's the benefit? Shorter code, maybe. A few 2-6 letter
sequences that can become single characters. I can sympathize somewhat
with the set issue (because {} means an empty dict), although set() is
better than set([]); having a short form for that would be of some
advantage. But not if it's hard to type.

Yeah, its a fit.  I found pi -> ∏

... and here's apple pi ->   ∏

I started programming on 029 keypunches and ASR-33 teletypes.  If you asked me to
type most of the punctuation we take for granted today (not to mention lower case
letters), I would have looked at you as if you had asked me to type something in greek.

Hardware evolves.  I assume that future generations of programmers will have input
devices better suited to unicode than the clumsy keyboards we use today.

And there you have a circular problem. Until the bulk of programmers
have access to such keyboards, programming languages shouldn't use
such symbols (because most of their users won't be able to type them);
and until programming languages make use of those symbols, there's
little reason to put them on keyboards.

Supporting both may look tempting, but you effectively create two ways
of spelling the exact same thing; it'd be like C's trigraphs. Do you
know what ??= is, without looking it up? [1]

This was a fit for me, back in the day IBM (system36 & system38). When 
we started supporting the C compiler (ha!) and non of our 5250 terminals 
could provide the C punctuation we take for granted today--- so we 
invented tri-graphs for { and } and others. It was a hoot.

I personally think the answer is extended key maps triggered by meta 
keys shift ctrl opt alt command |  which call up full alternate mappings 
of Greek|Latin|Math|symbols &c which can be chosen by mouse|pointing 
device.


The mac calls these keyboard viewer, and character viewer. In that way 
the full unicode set can be available from a standard qwerty keyboard 
without modifying the hardware right away.

I think Roy is right in saying that what looks unrealistic with one
technology looks natural with another (out phones are already handling
speech and handwriting)

And Chris is right in (rephrasing) we may have unicode-happy OSes and
languages. We cant reasonably have unicode-happy keyboards.
[What would a million-key keyboard look like? Lets leave the cost aside...]

Problem is that unicode deals with very different sides:
Universality of the math language
Locality of the zillions of human languages

If any character could be a variable, distinguishing the different things that
look like 'A' would be a nightmare

Actually, it wouldn't be that bad. Unicode allows for only 1114112
characters (thanks to UTF-16), of which only the first three planes
have any actual characters on them (so, a maximum of about 200K
characters). All you'd need would be a system that organizes them
(using their hex codepoints isn't exactly useful), and you could type
any character with a maximum of, say, 6-8 keystrokes; Huffman coded,
of course, so the average would be 1.5 keystrokes per character
actually used. Add one meta key: Charset. Hold that and press L and
you get (say) λ, U+03BB; Charset+Shift+L is Λ, U+039B. Ctrl+Charset+L
might give you a Cyrillic л (U+043B), and Ctrl+Charset+Shift+L would
then be Л (U+041B), the upper-case version of that.

Emacs users would love it.

How quickly can you switch, type one letter (to generate one Cyrillic
character), and switch back? If you can do that more quickly than
typing a word, then (for you!) it might be worth using those letters
as symbols.

Well Russian is Greek to me (or more correctly Russian!)
So Ive no clue about ergonomics

So let me talk of which input methods I use -- devanagari and tex.
I have devanagari-itrans set up in emacs as default (other) input method
So Ctrl-\ (ie 1½ keystrokes) puts emacs into devanagari mode

For tex Ive to type the keystroke for invoking
'set-input-method'
then spell out the input method (there seem to be hundreds)
RET

Considering that I use tex much more than devanagari I guess I should 
switch the default to tex

Yes, but putting emacs into a different mode, typing one letter, and
putting it back into the other mode is going to be more like 5
keystrokes. And that lets you have just one other input method; if you
have more than two, the cost will be higher. So replacing "lambda"
with "λ" is a minimal saving, practically zip [1] when you consider
the readability cost of having two ways of spelling the exact same
thing. For this to be useful, you'd need to be able to both read and
write much more efficiently. It has to be something where you can
quickly switch from ASCII letters and symbols to a non-ASCII lambda
and back to ASCII for the arguments and expression.

That's good! (Although typing Π quicker than pi is majorly pushing it.
I can type pi with two keystrokes. But for longer keywords, that's the
way it needs to be.) You can be at the front of the curve - using
non-ASCII symbols as identifiers, which a number of languages happily
support. Using them as keywords in the language means that it has to
be not just you, but the bulk of programmers; otherwise there have to
be two ways to do everything, and everyone has to learn both of them.
(Once, say, 99% of programmers can happily type all those symbols, the
fact that 1% of programmers are using the word "lambda" will just be a
matter to be dealt with in legacy code - same as seeing "range" vs
"xrange" in Python 2 code. New code needn't concern itself with the
difference.) Unfortunately, at the moment it's more like 1% of
programmers can easily type those symbols, I would guess.

Well, I'll tell ya, its exactly the same--- two key-strokes, believe it 
or not.

Because the character selector is up on the gui (for me, far left) and 
the two strokes are {mouse click the Π } and {mouse click the insert}; 
rather than {p} {i} .  There is of course a brief time-lag because my 
right hand has to move the pointing device and my hand is off the 
keyboard momentarily --  that is not a problem though, on my track pad 
notebook.
