Answer 1

solution

from itertools import tee

def unpack_args(fn):
    return lambda t: fn(*t)

def separate(fn, lx):
    return map(
        unpack_args(
            lambda i, ly: filter(
                lambda el: bool(i) == fn(el),
                ly)),
        enumerate(tee(lx, 2)))

test

[even, odd] = separate(
    lambda x: bool(x % 2),
    [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
print(list(even) == [2, 4])
print(list(odd) == [1, 3, 5])
