Dennis Sweeney <sweeney.dennis...@gmail.com> added the comment:

This is because i is not captured by the function definition. `lambda x: x**i` 
always makes the "input to the ith power" function, never the "input to the 3rd 
power" function, even if i happens to be 3 right now.

Consider replacing `lambda x: x**i` with `lambda x, i=i: x**i` to explicitly 
capture the current value of i as a default.

Changing the scoping rules now would be a big backwards-incompatible change.
