It is not about char length. The first is an expression while the second is a statement. I find it easy to debug code with expressions rather than statements, could you clarify why the first way would be worse for debugability?

The only meaningful difference between the two is that the lambda is named <lambda> and the function is named even.

I'm happy for you to use lambdas in an expression context, if that's how you like to roll, but assignment is a statement anyway, so it doesn't matter there and you might as well choose the one that produces helpful tracebacks.
