If you have a dll, ctypes is very easy to use. There are also inline
solutions like weave.

Python 3000 will have a "nonlocal" keyword that will help with this.
I don't generally find this a problem, but maybe I'm just working around
problems subconciously? I don't know.

Use a def. Lambdas are going away, anyway. It's not as convenient as an
anonymous function, but it's a pretty trivial difference.
def mymethod(self, blah):
...
def anonymouse(blah):
blah blah blah
filter(anonymouse, mylist)

What about numpy arrays, or one of the inline C methods like weave?
