Problem with plotting "lambda" functions

The following code returns AttributeError

F(x, k) = gamma_inc_lower(k/2, x/2) / gamma(k/2)
plot((lambda k: find_root(F(x, k) - 1/2, 0, 100)), (k, 1, 10))

I think there is some problem with coercion of Python function to Sage function, but I have no idea how to solve it in an elegant way.

Any solution, please?

You need more lambdas! When you're doing numerical stuff you usually want to work with Python functions rather than symbolic expressions, like so:

plot((lambda k: find_root(lambda x: F(x, k) - 1/2, 0, 100)), (k, 1, 10))

This ensures that x and k are numbers when you write F(x,k), so it will evaluate to a number (as desired).
