 I think this should work:

 {{{
 sage: l = var('lambda')
 ERROR: An unexpected error occurred while tokenizing input
 ...
 ValueError: The name "lambda" is not a valid Python identifier.
 }}}

 This is what I usually do, and it ''does'' work:

 {{{
 sage: l = SR('lambda')
 sage: show(l)
 }}}

 The reason to use the 'lambda' name is for the magic latex conversion.
