The reason was explained already by other people, here is a hack that
makes it work nonetheless: use sys.stdout.write; e.g.

import sys

lambda x,y: return sys.stdout.write("...")

if you need multiple args, make a varargs output function:

def out(*x):
    print " ".join(map(str,x))

f = lambda x,y: out(x,y)

f("Hello", 42)
