As a language, is Python limited due to no end statement?

Question

Since Python uses tabs spacing to indicate scope (and as such, has no end of } symbols), does that limit the language in any way from having particular functionality?

Note: I'm not talking about personal preferences on coding-style, I'm talking about real language limitation as a direct result of not having an end statement?

For example, it appears by a post directly from Guido that the lack of multi-line lamba's due to Python not having a terminating end / } symbol?

If so, what other Python limations are there because of this language design decision to use indentation?

Update:

Please note this question is not about Lambda's and technically, not even Python per se. It's about programming language design ... and what limitations does a programming language have when it's designed to have indentation (as opposed to end statements) represent block scope.

Answer 1

There is no lack of end/ }: an end is represented by a "dedent" to the previous depth. So there is no limitation in any way.

Example:

x = 123
while x > 10:
    if x % 21:
        print("x")
    print("y")
print("z")

A "begin" corresponds to increasing of indentation level (after while, after if).

An "end" corresponds to decreasing of indentation level (after the respective print()s).

If you omit the print("y"), you have a "dedentation" to the topmost level, which corresponds to having two successive "end"s.

Answer 2

The answer to this question ranges somewhere between syntactic sugar and language style, i.e. how to phrase a problem elegant and compliant to language philosophy. Any turing-complete language, even assembly language and C - definitely lacking any lambda support - may solve any problem. Lambda allows just a different (arguably more elegant if looking from functional language viewpoint) phrasing of stuff also stateable using standard function definition. So I can't recognize a limitation here beyond having to code differently.
