Here's a small patch that adds support for lambdas in the Python tagmanager. What it does it report Python's lambdas as functions (with arguments) rather than as variables. Nested lambda are supported too.
I haven't tried it but do we really want this? Aren't lambda functions supposed to be short and limited to local scope? We don't parse other local things other than nested functions, but they can be quite long.
I don't know if lambda are "supposed" to be local, but I personally tend to use them for most of very small functions, regardless they are local or not. But don't trust me for Python's "good practices".
I'd say if ever lamda's are used as some kind of anonymous functions or just short forms of longer terms. But I also doubt it would be useful to generate tags of them and so list them in the symbol list.
