In Python 2 this code is OK:
f = lambda (m, k): m + k
m = [1,2,3,4]
k = [5,6,7,8]
print(map(f, zip(m, k)))
but in Python 3 the following error occurred:
f = lambda (m, k): m + k
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
If I remove parentheses in lambda expression then another error occurred:
TypeError: <lambda>() missing 1 required positional argument: 'k'
Also approach with tuple as single lambda argument works in Python 3, but it's not clear (hard for reading):
f = lambda args: args[0] + args[1]
How can I unpack values in the right way in Python 3?
The removal of tuple unpacking is discussed in PEP 3113. Basically, you can't do this in Python 3. Under the headline Transition plan, you see that the "suggested" way of doing this is as your final code block:
lambda x_y: x_y[0] + x_y[1]
