Step 1 would be to require parentheses around the whole thing (ala generator expressions) to make it easier to see where the deferred expression ends. But all my use cases that I can think off the top of my head involve 'sorted', where it wouldn't help at all because of the need for an argument. So I'd rather see a serious discussion regarding giving lambdas a more Pythonic syntax in general, rather than one that only applied to the 'no-argument' case [1] Cheers, Nick.
