I think I may have found a bug:
pairs = [(1, 'one'), (2, 'two'), (3, 'three'), (4, 'four')]
pairs.sort(key=lambda pair: pair[1])
pairs
[(4, 'four'), (1, 'one'), (3, 'three'), (2, 'two')]
Should be:
pairs = [(1, 'one'), (2, 'two'), (3, 'three'), (4, 'four')]
pairs.sort(key=lambda pairs: pairs[1])
pairs
[(4, 'four'), (1, 'one'), (3, 'three'), (2, 'two')]
I have increased the size of the two s's to show the problem.

What has the name you've given your lambda parameter got to do with the
name of your list?
