The lambda calculus is Turing complete, so in theory, Python’s lambdas should suffice...

Turing completeness is completely unrelated to whether or not anonymous functions are easy to use in Python.

I mean... You're right. They suffice. They're just less friendly (i.e. useful) than lambdas in other languages.
